The Colours of Christmas

If you get a New Zealand Christmas card or postcard or calendar or placemats or really anything, it will have a pohutukawa on it like this one. That’s the colour of the flowers. The sky and the water will have those particular hues of blue and green.

If I hadn’t seen it for myself I would have said it was cheap printing, or over saturated for effect, or something. But no, this is what it looks like.

And I’m good with that.
