There was an obscure old stillife I once saw, probably European and very very old, maybe from the 1800's, and dark from age and not being cleaned. It had some bananas in it that were dark like the rest of the still life but would have been bright yellow like we see in the grocery stores. Bananas in Europe would have been rare and exotic at the time the artist painted them. I have sort of emulated them (from memory) but I ate them before thy turned dark.
