Why are pencils usually yellow?
Why is blue important to Flaubert in Madame Bovary?
Why is there no green in Mondrian's paintings?

In this book, the renowned Italian graphic designer explores the shaping of our modern perception of color. Examining examples from a wide range of art and culture—from Flaubert's novel to The Simpsons, from medieval frescoes to social media photography, from Mondrian's paintings to Hitchcock's films—Falcinelli traces the evolution of our centuries-old relationship with color, irrevocably changed by the Industrial Revolution and, later, television screens.

This book was first published by Einaudi in 2017. Called by critics "the Italian bible of color," it quickly became a bestseller and has been translated into Spanish, English, Catalan, and Korean. The book contains over 350 color illustrations.
