The Secret Lives of Color

The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of seventy-five fascinating shades, dyes, and hues. In this book, Kassia St. Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colors and where they come from (whether Van Gogh’s chrome yellow sunflowers or punk’s fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilization. Across fashion and politics, art and war, the secret lives of color tell the vivid story of our culture.
