A cultural history through seven coloured lenses. Its broad frame of reference encompasses Shakespeare, Goldfinger (first name Auric), Goethe, Roman marbles, Bronze Age gold, Mayan jade… Colours as metaphors, pigments, influences – “We have projected our hopes, anxieties and obsessions onto colour for thousands of years. The history of colour, therefore, is also a history of humanity”.
