Objectively.

Tiepolo, Woman with as Parrot, 1760


Audience Member:  What’s the most beautiful color … objectively?

Roger Scruton: The most beautiful color, objectively, is the pale violet used by Tiepolo in painting the lips of degenerate women.

Audience Member: What’s the most truthful one?

Scruton:  I think that one is equally truthful.

    Hi!

    I watched the entire Roger Scruton´s speech...but...
    Where is that pale violet? I cannot see that. He is being ironic?? What do you think?
