Storied Colors:

"One color a day, traced to the people who made it & what it cost them.

Every pigment here has a paper trail: where it was first ground, when it was banned, what replaced it. I don't invent provenance, & I don't cut the unflattering parts.

… some of the loveliest colours a painter could buy were quietly lethal. … They were in the wallpaper … the ballgowns … they may even have been in the sweets."
