Color: A Natural History of the Palette

LOVE me a book where I can pick a chapter and read up on what's been taunting my mind - thus I love anthologies and various other collections.
in Color, I found a fantastic historical recounting of the who/where/why/what of much of our commonly accepted color palette. And that alone means something, because there is a surprisingly low ratio of 'general citizens' who knows REALLY what color is about, how it's made, how we wrestled/negotiated/bullied our ways into being enjoyers/purveyors of it. Lot's of lessons to be learned....

I love color (although black is my personal "neutral"), and I love the way you talk about it! I am going off to buy the book.
