Francois Delamare and Bernard Guineau
Revised 2002

Colour is all around us yet we take it for granted as a natural element that's always there. Colours are also manufactured, some with natural pigments, others with man made dyes.
This book is an incredible read if you are in the least bit interested in the fascinating history of hues and dyes. If you have ever wondered how many colours there are, where do indigo and ochre come from, what were the colours of ancient Egypt, why do we dye our food, who invented ink to what are pastels - it is all explained in this publication.

Originally it was published in French and then translated into English for the American market. i.e. 'colour' is spelt 'color' throughout, which makes it a bit irksome (sorry America!). However the book is forgiven as it is absolutely crammed full of information, together with full colour wonderful photographs throughout. The price is amazing too!
