“It’s die colors” the German says with an accent when I ask him what he notices the most.

How right he is.

Isaac Newton in 1704 studied color and light and devised a color wheel. Goethe, a hundred years later in 1810, also pictured a color wheel. Since then, the color wheel as been refined and expanded. The primary colors of yellow, red, and blue. The secondary colors of green, orange, and violet. The tertiary colors as a mixture of a primary and a secondary color. Beauty across the spectrum.

Many, many more from artists to house painters pay attention to colors. When I stayed at Anita’s and Bill’s Plymouth BnB and said I admired the greenery and the soft colors, she beamed “I love colors. I’m an interior designer.”

At times, the English Channel’s coast is like southern France, Provence. Or, nearer, this region is like St. Ives on the Cornwall coast. Vivid and brilliant colors.

The yellow of the gorse and buttercups. The reds and pinks and violets of flowers.

There are the blue flowers, the hyacinth, the alum, and the not-pictured blue bells and the violet flowers.

Of course, how can we forget the English roses?

The water and the sky!

And, the seemingly never-ending blue of the sky mixed with the sea’s aqua and turquoise. The white of streaking cloud or billowing clouds. So many colors.

Enjoy the photos. Enjoy the colors that are part of your world!
