The Secret Lives of Colour (PB)

How could Ticketyboo not stock this!?! 

A charming and beautifully designed book that will appeal to anyone, creatives and non creatives! 

I was given this book long before I had Ticketyboo and have delved into it many times for all my colour choices both at work and at home. 

Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colours and where they come from into a unique study of human civilisation.  Across fashion and politics, art and war, The Secret Lives of Colour, tells the vivid story of our culture.

It tells the unusual stories of the 75 most 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. Tour the world without leaving your paint box.

The Secret Lives of Colour was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and a Sunday Times top-five bestseller.
