This post carries a warning - sensory overload ahead

Burano is an island in Italy and it has to be one of the most colourful places in the world. It's proof that what your mum told you about mixing colours was way wrong. You see, red and green "can be seen" and if pink and blue aren't enough, go ahead, add orange and mauve - it's ok!
