Color: A Natural History of the Palette

Discover the tantalizing true stories behind your favorite colors.
For example: Cleopatra used saffronâ€”a source of the color yellowâ€”for seduction. Extracted from an Afghan mine, the blue â€œultramarineâ€ paint used by Michelangelo was so expensive he couldnâ€™t afford to buy it himself. Since ancient times, carmine redâ€”still found in lipsticks and Cherry Coke todayâ€”has come from the blood of insects.
