The unforgettable, unknown history of colors and the vivid stories behind them in a beautiful multi-colored volume
“Beautifully written . . . Full of anecdotes and fascinating research, this elegant compendium has all the answers.” —NPR, Best Books of 2017
The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of seventy-five fascinating shades, dyes and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso’s blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history.
In this book, Kassia St. Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colors and where they come from (whether Van Gogh’s chrome yellow sunflowers or punk’s fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilization. Across fashion and politics, art and war, the secret lives of color tell the vivid story of our culture.
“This passionate and majestic compedium will leave you bathed in the gorgeous optics of light.” —Elle

不开玩笑，粉色真的会让男人变娘的。 《色彩的秘密生活》里关于粉色的故事中讲述了关于“贝克米勒粉”的秘密：据说在多次科学实验中，多款美国硬汉在长时间观看这款粉色之后，都变得体力减弱、攻击力降低、情绪平缓，简言之就是很“娘相”。当时的人们脑洞确实大，不但把监狱、...
評分科普性强，没有太多专业性的话语对普通读者非常友好。没有生涩的文字才是阅读普通书籍最基本的通行证。 朋友看见书后就想夺走，因为书本太好看啦，不同的色彩介绍用不同颜色的纸张渲染，可见出版社的用心。 走近每个色彩背后的小故事，也是窥见不同历史人物的八卦。色彩的数量...

評分近期的状态对我看书这件事儿大有影响，基本上什么书都看不进去。几个月前花巨资买了读书神器，一个铁架子，伸出有好几个关节的手臂，可以多角度调整，无论躺着坐着站着都可以看书，而且不用手——这么好的东西，我只用它看了一两本书。现在的这一本是讲伴人居住的各种动物的，...
評分文/夏丽柠 “红酥手，黄藤酒，满城春色宫墙柳。”这是南宋诗人陆游，写给原配夫人唐氏的《钗头凤》中的句子。大意是，红润酥嫩的玉手，捧着装满黄藤酒的酒杯。纵然满城春意，但如今唐氏却像宫中的绿柳遥不可及。这首诗好就好在，用红黄绿三种热闹的颜色,与后面的恶薄、愁绪和离...

印刷美爆瞭，這纔是紙質書的精華T T 前半部分直到紅色都還風格迥異，但是後麵的顔色有點韆篇一律瞭，不知道是顔色本身無趣還是作者寫不動瞭..不過對於我這種顔控還是一本超級滿足的書
