French Color Wheel

During a season in which color reigns supreme, Jean-Gabriel Causse has taken pigment research to scientific extremes. Causse's Paris-based T-shirt company, Bluebretzel, offers three unisex shapes in "mythic" shades.

Causse, a former advertising executive, has replicated other iconic colors, such as the original rust shade of the Eiffel Tower, the black of Beluga caviar at Caviar Kaspia, the green of a Citroën 2CV and the bright white of the sand on Hyams Beach at Jervis Bay, Australia.
