This comprehensive, beautiful book delves deep into the complex but
fascinating story of our relationship with colour throughout human
history. Colour is fundamental to our experience and understanding
of the world. It crosses continents and cultures, disciplines and
decades. It is used to convey information and knowledge, to evoke
mood, and to inspire emotion. This book explores the history of our
understanding of colour, from the ancient world to the present,
from Aristotle to Albers. Interspersed in the historical story are
numerous thematic essays that look at how colour has been used
across a wide range of disciplines and fields: in food, music,
language and many others. Â The illustrations are drawn from
the Royal College of Art’s renowned Colour Reference Library
which spans six centuries of works and nearly 2,000 titles, from a
Gothic manuscript on the composition of the rainbow to hand-painted
Enlightenment works on colour theory and vibrant 20th-century
colour charts, including many fascinating examples not seen
in other books. Delving far and wide in this fascinating and varied
subject, this book will help readers find new layers of meaning and
complexity in their everyday experiences and teach them to look
closer at our colourful lives.
