The Anatomy of Colour is the definitive book on the use of colour
and paint in interior decoration over a 300-year period. Drawing on
his huge specialist archive, historian and paint expert Patrick
Baty traces the evolution of pigments and paint colours together
with colour systems and standards, and examines their impact on the
colour palettes used in interiors from 1650 to 1960. He first
charts the creation in paint of the common and expensive colours
made from traditional earth pigments between 1650 to 1799. Next he
examines the emergence of colour systems and standards and their
influence on paint colours together with the effect of
industrialized production on the texture and durability of paints.
Alongside the authoritative and revealing text are specially
commissioned photographs of pages from rare colour books.
Throughout the book reproductions of interiors from home decor
books, highlighting the distinctive colour trends and styles of
painting particular to each period, accompany the in-depth analysis
of the history of colour and the development and use of paint
colours in interior design.
