Color Study

Compared the color images against the black and white version. I thought it would help determine if the pictures were about the color, or if it held up on its own without the color. It also helped determine what the color added to the picture.

Green



Cilantro. It made a good guacamole afterwards....

Red


Radishes...
I actually desaturated this picture a little, cause it was a little too red.

Yellow

It's hard to get bananas home without bruising them.

Orange

Orange bell peppers. The orange one looks weird in black and white.

Blue


This one was disappointing. There aren't many blue foods. Most turn out to be purple when you get them well lit. Started with canned blueberries (felt frozen wouldn't have looked good), but those are just a dark purple. Red cabbage turns a nice blue when you cook it, but becomes too limp, and looses it's structure. These were blue potatoes, and even they looked purple when raw. When cooked, they turned blue. I thought these pictures made the food look a little gross, but maybe that's how we're supposed to interpret blue foods.
