This book is an attempt to capture the visual essence of colours. I consider it to be a visual adaptation of The Secret Lives of Colour by Kassia St Clair. The book takes you through the whole spectrum of colours beginning from white and ending in black, much like everything else in the Universe.

 

Each colour has been divided into different shades and captures a narrative of that shade. The book is largely divided into white, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, green and black. The goal is to bring out the persona of each colour and celebrate a moment in its lifetime. The book speaks about the significance and symbolism of every colour. It highlights its use, its reputation and interpretations in society, some of which are often quite ironic. Together all these stories have shaped our world and this book offers us a little glimpse into it.
