Across fashion and politics, art and war, the secret lives of color tell the vivid story of our culture. Host Roman Mars of 99 Invisible, a podcast about the invisible power of architecture and design, talks to the author of The Secret Lives of Color, a collection of fascinating stories about colors, the way they’ve been made through history, and the lengths to which people will go to get the brightest splash of it. 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. 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. The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of seventy-five fascinating shades, dyes, and hues.
