End Notes:
I’m a very visual person with an associative train of thought. Sometimes, when I over-analyze a color combination I start wondering if people are making the same weird conceptual leaps that I am. For example, I would normally be loathe to pair the colors mustard and eggplant together because they are both food words and, really, mustard on an eggplant sounds incredibly unappetizing. But, for our week of color combination experiments, I got past my phobia and am wearing it anyway. And I think I might like it.
