Fish & Chips Friday Colour Palette

The colours of fish and chips done properly: golden batter fresh from the fryer, newspaper grey (for the traditionalists), mushy pea green, malt vinegar brown, and the clean white of the paper wrapping. This is the palette of seaside chippies, Friday night traditions, and the eternal debate about salt and vinegar versus curry sauce. For food brands, takeaways, seaside businesses, casual dining, and anything that wants to feel like the best meal you can eat with your fingers.
