Color is just a feature of the eye perception of different waves of light. Or not? We are surrounded by a real riot of colors, we know a huge number of colors and distinguish dozens of shades. And it’s hard to imagine that once everything was different. Artists could look for a way to get the perfect blue all their lives, and in the meantime, even the concept of “blue color” did not exist in some countries, it was considered only a shade of green. We are used to the pink association as color for girls, and just a few decades ago a famous boxer bought a pink convertible for himself, and no one found it funny or strange.
Our attitude to color is a set of associations and traditions that have been formed for many millennia. Although some of them were fixed relatively recently.
From this book you will learn: why did you choose yellow for a taxi, why does the White symbolize purity in some cultures, and in others - death, why in some countries the color of jealousy is green, and in others - red?
Pull out in the bright history of the world!
