From ancient dyes to modern marketing, from the psychology of red to the physics of violet, COLOR is a vibrant walk through everything we think we see… and everything we’ve been trained to feel. Explore how the brain edits the spectrum, how flags and uniforms manipulate emotion, how art history is lined with poison, and why no one saw “blue” until they invented a word for it.
