Your brownish, yellowish, orangish, rustish, softish, ickyish look just does not appeal to my eyes; and we all know that we eat with our eyes first. You merely make that possible, almost impossible really, even just the thought. But I have also been taught not to judge from the outside but also one’s content of character.
