colour inspired: kensington market red

Kensington Market in Toronto is, in fact, a global experience. It is also vivacious, capricious and comfortably diffident. An absolute must.
Not too long ago, E and I went on a field trip of sorts to KM with a theme in tag: Red. That is, what does red look like, feel like, taste like, sound like? So armed with our senses and digital cameras, we resolutely set ourselves on this particular quest.
We saw what it looked like while documenting it in digital images. We sure felt it when we were under the unforgiving sun reflecting on a impossibly hot pavement. We tasted it at El Trompo (our favourite place for tacos). And we got stuck on the matter of sound.
KM has a very distinct cacophony, yet we concluded that its resonance was not that of red. So, after pondering a bit on this particular matter (E is at this point is done with the  issue), it is my personal opinion that you can actually hear Kensington Market red in Jenn Grant's Oh My Heart. Perfect, wouldn't you say?
Here are a few images, with their corresponding palettes, of course.

This is my favourite image, mostly for what is reflected.

It was overcast for a while, which was a respite in such a scorching day. It created an excellent contrasting sky to the intense colours in the apartment.

I'm totally in love with those blues.
