Defining color is a simple matter-visible light of a particular wavelength. Or is it? It turns out that the pigments and dyes responsible for hues have many remarkable characteristics, most of which we rarely ponder. Journalist Finlay's first book is a blend of travelogue and historical exploration about the myriad ways color takes on meaning for us, whether as a matter of aesthetics, economics, war or culture. The book has no overarching theme-it's all byways, an approach that works. Insofar as there is a thesis, it is that visual expression falls just behind procreation and the search for food and shelter as a fundamental human activity; countless peoples, Finlay reports, rank color and art among their primary concerns. During her journey, both literal and literary, Finlay learns of many little-known tribes and historical curiosities: too-trusting Puritans purchasing cheaply dyed black clothes destined to turn orange in a matter of weeks; the rise and heartbreaking fall of the art of the Pintupi tribe in barren central Australia during the 1970s; and the once-supreme economic clout of indigo from Bengal-to take just three examples among dozens. To delve into this book is to see the experimental, scientific side of the old masters and the artistic qualities of inventors and explorers. This is not a scientific work-those interested in rods and cones should look elsewhere. Thanks to Finlay's impeccable reportorial skills and a remarkable degree of engagement, this is an utterly unique and fascinating read. Illus., maps.

读后感

“圣母玛丽亚并不总是身着蓝袍。在俄罗斯圣像画中，她更常穿着红色的衣服，而17世纪的拜占庭画家则将她的衣服画成紫色。有时候，她也穿着白色—她必定拥有一只大大的衣柜。” 这是《颜色的故事》里讲到蓝色一章时所用的俏皮机智的语言，每当读到文中这样的句子时，我总会莞尔...  

爱颜色的人一定爱生活 优雅轻松的笔调后面，是广博的知识 适合在午后阳光里看的书 心情会变得七彩，随之氤氲开来～  

可能人们怎么也不会想到紫色是从一种贝类软体动物染料骨螺中提炼出来。为寻找紫色的发源地，维多利亚.芬利来到贝鲁特寻找紫色，酒店大堂经理建议她向北行驶，到基督教地区，会发现许多腓尼基人的遗体……腓尼基人在公元前3世纪从阿拉伯半岛来到黎巴嫩，是早期黎巴嫩的居民，他...

看Lautrec受到一点启发..需要增加点具体的知识。这本书里各种边角料知识...比如茜素是媒介染料可以用来做橙色..作者可以说非常尽力了..简直是exhaustive research典范..各种信息驱动着飞速旋转确实有点乱了阵脚。排列呈现方式有点混乱..缺个main thread.大部分我都记住了所以阅读体验还是满意的。我想了半天我可能会换个方式吧。
