Detailed information

This gorgeous compendium contains 100 amazing colours that you might otherwise live your whole life unaware of.

These colours exist in the strangest of places, and serve extremely specific functions in nature, or were human-made with one goal in mind.

In this oversized, design-forward book you'll find entries for each of the 100 colours, organised in gradient order, with structural and impossible colours set at the end. Each entry has a 2-page spread with a full-page image of the colour plus snappy descriptions, and easy-to-understand category symbols. Some entries include diagrams. Even includes structural colours and colours outside the range of human visibility! Also included is a brief introduction to colour theory, a myth-busting section, plus index, glossary, and notes.

Here is your universe in living colour:

  • Cosmic Latte: The average colour of the universe.
  • Dragon’s Blood : A tropical tree that bleeds red resin with incredible medicinal potential.
  • Sonoluminescence: A colour created by sound!
  • Eigengrau: The colour we perceive in the absence of light (and no, it's not "pitch black").

Perfect for anyone who loves science or art, and bursting with astonishing facts and stunning photography, The Universe in 100 Colors is a wonder for the senses.
