Used book – The Little Book of Colours, Michel Pastoureau, Dominique Simonnet

It's no coincidence that we see red, laugh yellow, turn green with fear, blue with anger, or white as a sheet. Colors are not trivial. They convey taboos and prejudices that we unconsciously obey; they possess hidden meanings that influence our environment, our behaviors, our language, our imagination. Colors have a tumultuous history that tells the story of evolving mentalities. Art, painting, decoration, architecture, advertising, our consumer products, our clothes, our cars—everything is governed by this unwritten code. Learn to think in colors, and you'll see reality differently!
