Hardback. Condición: Good. Color is all around us every day. We use it to interpret the world-red means stop, blue means water, orange means construction. But it is also written into our metaphors, of speech and thought alike: yellow means cowardice; green means envy-unless you're in Germany, where yellow means envy, and you can be beat up green and yellow. Jude Stewart, a design expert and writer, digs into this rich subject with gusto. What color is the universe? We might say it's black, but astrophysicists think it might be turquoise. Unless it's beige. To read about color from Jude Stewart is to unlock a whole different way of looking at the world around us-and bringing it all vividly to life. The book itself is organized around the rainbow and is lavishly designed, with cross-references that liven up each page. (Follow the thread of imperialism, for example, from the pink-colored colonies on maps of the British Empire to the green wallpaper that might have killed Napoleon.) A lovingly packaged, distinctive book, it will be the only one of its kind. ROY G. BIV is a reference and inspiration for designers and artists, as well as a unique, beautiful, and irresistible book for just about anyone.…

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. ROY G. BIV: An Exceedingly Surprising Book About Color by Jude Stewart, published in 2013 by Bloomsbury, is a visually engaging exploration of the cultural, historical, and scientific dimensions of color. Organized around the colors of the rainbow red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet the book delves into how each hue has been perceived and utilized across different societies and eras. Stewart, a design writer and synesthete, presents color not just as a visual phenomenon but as a rich tapestry woven with meaning and significance. The book covers a wide array of topics, such as the historical use of indigo in textiles, the psychological effects of color in marketing, and the linguistic variations in color perception across cultures. For instance, she discusses how the British painted warships pink during World War II to blend with the sky at dusk, a tactic that surprised many. The design of the book mirrors its content, featuring vibrant illustrations, color-coordinated layouts, and interactive elements that encourage readers to explore connections between different color-related topics. Stewart's writing is both informative and entertaining, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. Whether you're a designer, artist, or simply curious about the world of color, ROY G. BIV offers a delightful and enlightening read.…
