Inspirational 'Spice Market' Colours


This inspirational image was taken inside a friends shop at the Spice Market, Marrakech. Some of the natural pigments have been mixed with water creating an interesting transparent display. I just love the colours especially the emerald green, highlighter pink and cobalt blue.

  1. I love the "silver-y" blue to the left of the pink. I'm having ideas... like... instead of water it's coconut oil to create an oil lamp with those colours. Now, spice is not inflammable, right.

  2. Great idea Paula! These are pigment colours used for painting not sure if they are flammable..I will test your idea next time I visit Marrakech.
    I know this is quite a random image but for some reason it struck a chord, good to see someone is tuned into my way of thinking!!!
