Die Welt Der Farben by Kassia St. Clair

A lively, richly researched exploration of individual colors that traces their material origins, trade histories and technological production while revealing the cultural meanings, artistic uses and political power each hue has held across civilizations; blending science, art history and anecdote, it shows how pigments and dyes shaped economies, fashion, religion and identity, and how our perception of color has been transformed by invention, industry and shifting social values.
