Here's a colorful roundup of videos found and described by the color lovin' blog, shape+color (Happy 2 Years!) which has always been a reliable and sharp source for inspiring content.

As a reminder to "eat your daily recommended dose of color," Tattfoo Tan, an artist whose work "seeks to find an immediate, direct, and effective way of exploring issues related to the individual in society... Through the employment of multiple forms of media," developed the Nature Matching System as a public art project in New York City. The Nature Matching System (NMS) was conceived in an effort to spread awareness and promote the health benefits of eating colorful fruits and vegetables.

NMS —Nature Matching System was developed by Tattfoo as a reminder to consume your daily recommended doses of color. The shades of color displayed at farmers’ markets are more than skin deep, reflecting the inner potential of every fruit and vegetable; intense colors might even be called nature’s nutrition labels. They get many of their colors from phytonutrients, compounds that play key roles in health and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. The more colors come together at a meal, the better. Sadly, marketers of junk food apply the same technique used by nature to pollinate seed to their nutrition-deprived product. Color is a device that can do good or be deceptive and ensure the pollination of unhealthy eating habits. The colors on the placemat shown below are all actual food colors, taken from photographs of various fruits and vegetables. Match your meal to the placemat—it is truly a rainbow connection.

"Hue, hue, hue…"

A set of twelve Christmas cards based on colours submitted to our Christmas by Colour project. The cards are split into two packs with six in each pack.

Printed 4-colour litho on Trucard, the cards measure 165mm x 117mm and are blank inside. White envelopes included.

This is a guest post by Martin Petrov (a.k.a aeonbeat).

The movie (Sunshine) itself is not that interesting, but the camera work and choice of colors in every single scene is really joyful. You can notice, for example, how a crew member's t-shirt and an object on the table are the same color, while at the same time everything else is merging to form a background. I don't see any specific symbolic meaning behind that, and it's nothing new for sure, but still, it's inspiring for people who love colors.

Dick Bruna is best known for his children's books which he authored and illustrated, now numbering over 200. His best known creation is Miffy (Nijntje in the original Dutch), a small rabbit drawn with heavy graphic lines, simple shapes and primary colors.

Aside from his prolific catalog of children's books, Bruna also illustrated and designed book covers, posters and promotional materials for his father's publishing company A.W. Bruna and Zoon. His most popular designs graced the covers of the Zwarte Beertjes series of books.

Children's Books

Miffy is a small female rabbit in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. Her original Dutch name is Nijntje [nɛɪ̯ncǝ] which stems from a toddler's pronunciation of the word "konijntje" meaning "little rabbit".

The first Miffy book was produced in 1955, and almost 30 others have followed. In total they have sold over 85 million copies, and inspired a television series as well as items such as clothes and toys featuring the character.

I know we had a colorful look at waves not too long ago (see it here), but when I came across the shorebreak photography of Clark Little I couldn't resist sharing the incredible palettes created by a mix of sand, shore and water.  All of these photos can be seen on his site, and are part of his latest book, The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little.

The Astonishing vividness of Andrew Zuckerman's photographs is a treat for the senses. In his latest book, Bird, Andrew pulls the birds from their natural setting and places them in front of a stark white backdrop creating the most wonderful contrast that allows us to appreciate these colorful creatures in a new light.

The Birds

"His recent paintings readily recall aerial landscapes. The meticulously applied layers of color reflect a deep appreciation for the way the land carries a memory of its previous self."

"Patchwork like spaces of unequal area are simplified and assembled to heighten the relevance of value, line and most importantly color."
