Summary:
"From kelly green to millennial pink, our world is graced with a richness of colors. But our human-made colors haven't always matched nature's kaleidoscopic array. To reach those brightest heights required millennia of remarkable innovation and a fascinating exchange of ideas between science and craft that's allowed for the most luminous manifestations of our built and adorned world. In Full Spectrum, Rogers takes us on that globe-trotting journey, tracing an arc from the earliest humans to our digitized, synthesized present and future. In prose as vibrant as its subject, Rogers opens the door to Oz, sharing the liveliest events of an expansive human quest -- to make a beautiful, more vivid world" -- Back cover.
