The Hidden Histories of Five Extraordinary Colours
From Gamboge Yellow to Orpiment Orange, how does a colour get its name? Here, "Nature’s Palette" author Patrick Baty shares the stories behind five remarkable colours celebrated in the book – including one to be found on the ‘Neck Ruff of the Golden Pheasant’ and the ‘Belly of the Warty Newt’.
Building on the color samples and evocative source descriptions in "Werner's Nomenclature", nature's colors are catalogued with illustrations and additonal information.
