Naming Colors

I found this book on a bench in an art museum: The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St.Clair.

I have always felt that my color vocabulary was lacking. This little treasure should help.

The side of the book looks like a rainbow. Each color section has various hues listed.

The rainbow’s edge

Who knew there were so many purples. Each one has several pages of history and descriptions in how the hue was made.

Purples

I will be ready to better describe my next red flower, now that Kassia has provided the accurate term for it.

Ready for reds.

I will post on rocks in the art museum next.
