Secret Lives of Colour (2025 Edition) - Kassia St Clair

Secret Lives of Colour: New edition with 25 new colours (2025 Edition)

THE MODERN CLASSIC, NOW BOLDER, BRIGHTER AND WITH 25 NEW COLOURS.

The history of colour tells the vivid story of civilisation. From scarlet women to imperial purple, leaf green to the white paint that protected against the atom bomb, Picasso's blue period to the pink Barbie claimed for feminism, The Secret Lives of Colour offers a bright thread throughout human history.
Kassia St Clair's lifelong fascination with colours and where they come from (whether Van Goph's chrome yellow sunflowers or Dorothy's ruby slippers) takes us on an unforgettable journey through our past, present and future.
