Description

Discover the tantalizing true stories behind your favorite colors.
For example: Cleopatra used saffron€"a source of the color yellow€"for seduction. Extracted from an Afghan mine, the blue €œultramarine€ paint used by Michelangelo was so expensive he couldn€t afford to buy it himself. Since ancient times, carmine red€"still found in lipsticks and Cherry Coke today€"has come from the blood of insects.
