About this listen

What is color? Not just pigment. Not just light. Not even just perception. Color is a system. A language written in wavelengths, built by biology, shaped by culture, and weaponized by power. 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. This is not an audiobook about art. It’s an audiobook about the way we experience reality, and how color quietly runs the show. This book cracks open one of the most overlooked dimensions of modern life. Once you see color for what it really is, you’ll never unsee it again.
