Color is just a feature of the eye's perception of different waves of light. Or is it? We are surrounded by a veritable riot of colors, we know a huge number of colors and distinguish dozens of shades. And it's hard to imagine that things were once different. Artists all their lives could look for a way to get the perfect blue, and meanwhile in some countries there was not even a concept of "blue color", it was considered only a shade of green. We are used to the association of pink as a color for girls, and just a few decades ago a famous boxer bought himself a pink convertible, and no one found it funny or strange.
Our attitude to color is a set of associations and traditions that have been formed over many millennia. Although some of them have taken hold relatively recently. From this book you will learn: why yellow was chosen for cabs; why in some cultures white symbolizes purity, and in others - death; why in some countries the color of jealousy - green, and in others - red? Dive into the colorful history of the world!
