I've recently started to read this book and have just ...reach yellow, but I am already more than pleased with how informative, entertaining and thought provoking it is. I was fascinated by the idea that people used to describe colours in terms of a continuum from white to black as I am often engaged in trying to see the world as a spectrum of light to dark when taking monochrome photographs. So far the stories associated with colours have been interesting. If you're unsure about buying the book, turn to pages 58-59 and read about beige, that will give you a flavour of the whole.

Astonishing and fascinating deta...ils on every page just grip you. Also good that it is a book which you can put down and pick up again easily so you are entertained rather than overwhelmed by the detail. A satisfying book.
