Ochre

The color of the stone that is all over France is Ochre, It is the warmest most wonderful color that permeates your life when you go there.It is the color I crave all the time. It is the diffused sun that is the light everybody talks about. That light combined with the stone color is too remarkable because of what it does to other colors. Red and blue become a new thing when you see them next to ochre. I painted all my walls in my house Ochre and it is the only color I can stand for more than a few months. It is the only constant color in my life. A vase of lavender next to an ochre wall is the most beautiful thing in the world. You can see the lavender , truly see it.

My favorite restaurant was all all all ochre. walls furniture everything was ochre. It was like going to heaven.

    Ochre is mustard. The mustard in France exactly matches the stone. The tiny mustard seed makes that beautiful color too.
