Color makes its way into natural science images as early as the
research process. It serves for self-reflection and for
communication within the scientific community. However, color does
not follow a standard in the natural sciences: its meaning is
contingent, even though culturally conditioned. Digital publishing
enhances the use of color in scientific publications; at the same
time, globalization promotes the idea of universal color symbolism.
This book investigates the function of color in historical and
current visualizations for scientific purposes, its epistemic role
as a tool, and its long neglect due to symbolic and gender-specific
connotations. The publication thus closes a research gap in the
natural sciences and the humanities.
