Hans Hoffman.

book of the week
The Secret Lives of Colour by Kassia St.Clair
Not just a book about colour! It’s full of interesting information about the history of colour, and how colour has been, and is, used. Kassia St.Clair even makes information about pigments and how they are sourced interesting!
What colour is ‘mummy’ ? What do cows have to do with Indian yellow? Why have some names stuck, despite being ludicrous : ‘nude’ for example.
All in all an easy read that will inform while raising a few grins. A book keeping in a place where you can pick it up for a few moments, dip in, and go away ruminating about what you have just read.
