salsaHave you eve noticed why Ikea’s logo is such a big hit? It’s probably because they used complementary colours for their logo. In art school, we learn about colour theory- how opposing colours off set and complement each other. Some great colour combos:

forest green & deep red

navy blue & bright yellow

purple & mustard yellow

Indigo & orange

Greens & Yellows

Putting guacamole into colour theory- creamy yellow corn chips do complement red salsa sauces, but how about blue corn chips? Blue corn chips are actually not blue- they fall between purple and indigo.

So would purple chips go with red salsa? I think they do not bring each other’s colours out. How about coupling them with green guacamole? It could work, but it is not a very strong combination either. How about mustard yellow? Now we’re talking…

1 Orange Bell Pepper (not optional)

1/2 Zucchini

1 Onion

1/5 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

1/5 Teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper

Note: I think Tostitos’s Blue Corn Chips are really salty by itself, so I omitted salt.

I just finished a painting this week and I have three other projects to churn out before the end of this month. Summer art school is killing me.
