As a graphic designer and color enthusiast I was excited to dig into this book. The actual text however is 90% excruciating personal minutia detailing to the author's attempt to find some kind of content to put into her book. Actual color history info is very scanty. I found it to be longwinded and far too self-indulgent. The subtitle is misleading and the book does not very well deliver on its promise.
I found the reading to be excruciating. With each page I kept telling myself--"the good stuff [relevant content] has to be coming soon". However it never does. For me this book was a disappointment. Definitely not what I was hoping for.Get more detail about Color: A Natural History of the Palette.
