Fascinating book that can be read in dabbles. Equal parts history and entertainment and beauty.

This book had a lot of interesting tidbits about color creation and historical uses. I was disappointed by the focus on how pigments are made for paint, and instead was hoping for more cultural and societal contexts about use of different shades.

This book is a fascinating cultural history of color and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Everything you wanted to know about color but we’re afraid to ask. So much information to take in but always interesting.
