THE PRINCIPLE OF THE SLOW FADE
By Martina Oboh I have always been fascinated by colours and how one shade transits into another. White becomes cream, eggshell, ivory, Navajo white, vanilla then onyx, black olive, charcoal grey, jet and eventually black. White is, of course, the lightest possible colour and black is the darkest. Every other colour hovers between these two …
SELAH MOMENTS
