All Things Cream

CREAM IS A SHADE OF WHITE, but it’smore than that. Just saying the word out loud evokes a softer image. CREAM sounds delicious, CREAM sounds luxurious, CREAM sounds heavenly, CREAM sounds royal, CREAM sounds elegant, CREAM sounds pure. Why is it that just thinking of a color can create images in our minds, awaken the senses, evoking feelings and even experiences.
