Looking at the pages of Robert Ridgway’s Color Standards and Color Nomenclature made me think of this beautiful Jack Delano photograph.

I like the depth of the colors in the Delano photograph.
He’s one of my favorite photographers. I should’ve added a link for other posts with his work — I just did. The Library of Congress has many, many Delano photographs.
