Aprašymas

How many colours are there? The West tends to go for seven, but the Chinese see five, while the Piraha tribe in the Amazon has no words for the spectrum. Colour isn't something we see, it's something we think.

True Colours takes our key eleven colours and explores the meanings we give to them: how they have shaped our evolution as a species, persuaded us in politics and culture, and allowed us to express or oppress personal freedoms. It looks, too, at why colours mean different things to different people. How red, for example, can be synonymous with love and anger, power and beauty, Soviet Communists and US Republicans.

Paul Simpson charts the significance of each of these major colours in our lives, investigating such issues as the gender of pink, the sinister side of green, the decadence of yellow, the mystery of melancholy blue, the performance-diminishing impact of grey, the religious aura of purple, and the ways in which orange has shaped power in Europe.
