Colour chat

I am editor for an academic journal about colour – the Journal of the International Colour Association. We just published our 8th issue today which is a special issue containing some of the best papers from the VI conference of the Italian Colour Group. Readers of this blog will probably particularly enjoy the paper by Francesca Valan on The evolution of colour in design from the 1950s to today. Valan introduces the notion of chromatic cycles and observes that the higher the chroma the shorter the duration of the trend. Some interesting predictions are made about the popularity of certain colours in the near future. To see this and all the other papers from this issue click here.

The Gun-Carryin' Librarian

In my search for yet another original and creative cheesecake recipe to highlight this month, I’ve stumbled across what sounds like a real gem of a recipe . . . Peanut Butter Cheesecake.  And we will be having an occasion in a couple of weeks that will provide me the opportunity to create this fabulous-sounding masterpiece.  From the crushed pretzel crust, to the peanut butter filling (with peanut butter chips and chocolate chips), and topped off with a sour cream, peanut butter, and chopped peanut topping, this one is sure to please.  And, with so many classic pairings (salty and sweet, smooth and crunchy, chocolate and peanut butter), what’s not to like . . . a little something for everyone.
