Anne Varichon in her forthcoming book explores the entwined evolution of this categorization through nearly 200 vibrant samples from the 15th century to modern day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Translated by Kate Deimling,\u00a0<em>Color Charts: A History<\/em>\u00a0is a hefty survey of hundreds of grids and illustrations cataloging a remarkable spectrum of hues, materials, and uses. Inside its pages are swatches of 19th-century silk ribbons, thin fragments of wool roving, and a 1960s diagram featuring a linoleum collection that appears like a celestial map. While many of the charts included haven\u2019t been published previously, the book also references classics like\u00a0<em>Werner\u2019s Nomenclature of Colours<\/em>, a wildly popular guide of hues for naturalists and artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Published by Princeton University Press,\u00a0<em>Color Charts\u00a0<\/em>outlines the way color has always informed consumer choice, from hand-dyed fabrics to the vast options of mass-produced goods we know today.
