The Secret Lives of Color

“One page per color. Well-told stories. One about underwear?!”

“It’s like if you see a color and you’re able to click ‘learn more’. Excellent gift for an artist.”

“I always love learning more about colors.”

“Easy to read, fascinating backstory of 75 different colors and how they shaped culture and history.”

“If you’re a ~chromaphile~ like me, you’re going to be obsessed with this book — learn all about the history of color. Incredible”

“This book is amazing. It tells the history behind certain colors and changed everything about how I thought about design history. It makes me want to decorate a whole room in Scheele’s green and just bask in the fact it can’t kill me.”

“This book gives character to colors beyond their looks and personal understandings. A bit like speed dating, each color gets only a few pages. But their histories are so rich and interesting. I love stories about ordinary things that make you look at the world a little differently.”

“Fascinating!”
