Only a few tickets left for this talk by me on artists' palettes - the pigments they carry, how they were made, used, collected and became symbols of art and style. Wednesday 26 June, 11 a.m. in the Old Courtroom @BrightonMuseums: brightonmuseums.org.uk/event/alexandr…

Psychedelic dinosaurs, four-dimensional hummingbirds, and how we got our vision – fascinating read on color, consciousness, and the dazzling world of tetrachromacy themarginalian.org/2022/08/10/ed-…

🎂📖Today marks our 183rd anniversary! 🎂📖 To mark the occasion, we delved into the safes to share the book that started it all when we opened our doors on 3 May 1841… 📚✨

On the occasion of the publication of The Book of Colour Concepts (@TASCHEN) I was invited to pick five of the best books on colour for the May issue of @TheArtNewspaper . Historical books not included, it was nonetheless a tough call. Guess who is on the list?
Colour Library RCA retweeted
"Colors are not possessions; they are the intimate revelations of an energy field... deep, resonant mysteries with boundless subjectivity... Our lives, when we pay attention to light, compel us to empathy with color." Beautiful read: themarginalian.org/2021/06/02/ell…

I have a new talk coming up, in which I air my fascination for artists' palettes. It will premiere @BrightonMuseums on 26 June, 11am. Info & tickets: Artists' Palettes Through Time: From Rembrandt’s golden browns to Winifred Nicholson’s prismatic violets brightonmuseums.org.uk/event/alexandr…
This will be magnificent, monumental and unputdownable. At 6kg, it may also be unpickupable, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. (Heft didn't stop Albers and the first edn of Interaction of Color, after all.)

Albert Henry Munsell (1858–1918) envisioned his colour categorisation system as akin to musical notation, bearing a specificity that aimed to liberate chromatic description from commercially-driven colour names: publicdomainreview.org/collection/mun…

#WarburgWednesday So what do the colourful stickers mean on the spines of some of our books? They are the remains of a colour-coded classification system once in use in the Library. Each colour equals a different letter.

There is pink sadness, "the sadness of shame when you have done nothing," and blue sadness, "the sadness of reverie and nostalgia"... Poet Mary Ruefle's emotional color wheel of sadnesses: themarginalian.org/2020/04/30/mar…
