Moody Monday No. 41: Blackberry Is The New Black

Blackberries are luscious and plump, with an enigmatic hue that I can only call "overripe."  Where black can be dark, harsh, or stark, blackberry purple has a depth that's soft and warm.  I would love to see blackberry purple paired with blush or pale turquoise in a backyard summer wedding!  Wouldn't that be yummy?
