A journey through the stories hidden in every shade. In The Art of Colour, Kelly Grovier traces the origins and meanings of 39 pigments, revealing how color has shaped art — and the way we see it — from ancient caves to modern masterpieces.

Through surprising histories and poetic insights, Grovier shows that color is never still: it shifts, evolves, and speaks its own language. Each hue tells a story — of discovery, creativity, and the deep connection between art and the world around it.
