The Color of Luxury

Some will say it's purple, the color historically associated with royalty. Some will say jewel tones. Others swear by black and still others go with gold.

When it comes to an instantaneous communication of affluence however, the colors of these boxes speak their message loud and clear. It hardly matters what's inside. And a ribbon is fine, no need to wrap them.

Didn't they look fabulous under your tree this morning?

A friend snapped this lovely palette of vintage containers (Tupperware?). I was inspired to indulge in some chromatic free association.
