具体描述
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

《色彩的秘密生活》是一本“好看”的书。书讲述了75种颜色，书本身的形态也是五颜六色，五光十色，异彩纷呈。书籍在正文内容外侧的纸张边缘，有一条两厘米宽的色条，随时提示读者你正在与哪一种颜色对话。因为彩色印刷的需要，纸张很厚，每页纸能抵得上一般书籍的两倍，拿在手...
评分文/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...

评分这本书叫色彩的秘密生活，听上去第一印象我不知道它具体是讲什么的。好像是个什么科普书，拿到书后一看还真是。 但我真的想不到关于色彩应该是怎样的科普？所以我还想过是不是应该是关于生活的书，难道是写生活中的多姿多彩？总之我完全没有想到，竟然是对颜色的科普。而且是分...

评分印刷美爆了，这才是纸质书的精华T T 前半部分直到红色都还风格迥异，但是后面的颜色有点千篇一律了，不知道是颜色本身无趣还是作者写不动了..不过对于我这种颜控还是一本超级满足的书
评分一开始还不错，掉书袋的部分很喜欢。后来就有点腻味了，像是颜色百科大全。3.5
