From the ochres of pre-history, later civilisations’ creation of vibrant colours from base materials, through to modern world synthetic pigments, colour has played an integral role in the way we describe the world around us.
Stories of colours dug from the ground beneath us, to others so expensive only kings and popes could afford them, from the ancient world to the present are revealed within these pages.
