"These are the colours of the Bedouins, of the desert. Almost all tribes, from Morocco to the Gulf, share a preference for warm colours - reds, oranges, yellows - in contrast to Europe, where pastels are more common. Such colours stand out against the neutral tones of the desert, and, indeed, Bedouins will often surround a black tent with textiles of vibrant colours, as if replicating a garden"
