What's your favourite colour? Ever wondered how it got from nature into your paints?

Long ago, brilliant blues, glittering greens and radical reds weren't easy to make. Artists had to crush beetles, burn bones and even drain sea snails to create colours.

Come on a journey through history, packed with amazing stories, dazzling illustrations and iconic artworks from around the world to discover how we solved the mystery of colour.

Written by a master paint maker and colour expert, this book will inspire curious minds to see colour in a whole new way!
