What Color are Candy Apples?

Colors are a strong motivator of our psyches, moods, actions and memories. I mean is there anyone who wouldn't instantly associate Orange and Black with Halloween? But what about the other colors that jog our memories and make us think of good things we enjoy about Autumn and Halloween?

Now that October is finally here, I will use it to kick off a new series that I am adding to my blog. This new series will center around COLOR themed Collage Boards. You may recall, if you were around here last year....a post I did called "What Color is Fall". Well I love the concept of color palettes so much, that I decided to expound on them in a visual way by picking a particular color palette, and then creating a collage of related images that draw from that particular palette. What I love about doing this is that it's really a visually delicious treat for the senses, and it helps to get the creative juices flowing as well.

Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy colors...the season was made for it. For instance what is the color of Autumn Apples? Candied Apples? Caramel Apples? I see a palette that runs from the greens of 'Granny Smith Apples' to the reds of 'Red Delicious' and 'Macintosh Apples'. And of course it should include a warm golden brown the color of 'Caramel'. So let today's color palette, aptly named 'Candy Apples', inspire your own desire for one of these delicious Fall treats!
