Specification Was pink once a boy's color?

Blue and black? White and gold?
Just like "that dress" that caused a huge controversy online, the "colors" you see will be completely changed!

A fun and colorful cultural magazine filled with eye-opening side stories.

We are surrounded by color every day. From the shoes we wear, to the car we drive, to the picture we like hanging on our wall, everything has a color and an underlying meaning.
Color is not just something to see, but something to think about.

Also, thinking about "colors" is also thinking about us, "human beings." Why does a rainbow have seven colors? Why do we wear white dresses? Why is the revolution red? Why did Prince love purple? Colors influence not only individual personalities but also politics, and can be said to move history.

This book explores the mysteries behind color, a subject full of discoveries, by examining it from various angles, including emotion, art, history, religion, science, medicine, politics, and pop culture.

Why are the various objects around us a certain color? What color clothes should I wear for tomorrow's important meeting? What is the best hair color for the character in the picture I'm currently drawing? This book is chock full of hints to resolve such everyday questions and doubts.
This book is fun to read and fun to look at, filled with trivia that you'll want to tell someone about tomorrow and knowledge that will surely come in handy when you want to tell someone something!

--Paul Klee

Colors are the keys, eyes are the hammers, and the soul is the piano with its many strings.
--Wassily Kandinsky
