Why Bees Do Not See Red
Has pink always been feminine and blue a man's color? Why does orange whet our appetite? Why do we feel blue? Shades of color accompany our lives and shape our language: We become green with envy, or remove our rose-tinted spectacles. But how did colors acquire these associations? In this beautiful coffee table book, we traverse the color spectrum with 150 remarkable stories of our experience, understanding and theories of color. With insights from art, nature, psychology and science, this is an amusing, entertaining, and vibrant journey through the cultural history of color.
