Every. Single. Page. is fascinating!!! I thought this would be about colors for artists, but it’s more like…colors for scientists! But actually I think that might make you a better artist. I learned so much, and yet it’s not a heavy, difficult read at all. It’s completely accessible to lay people.
In short, I loved it.
Thank you for the eARC!

This was a very beautiful and informative book, it was great to learn more about colours and how they shape the universe. Cosmic Latte was my favourite.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the authors for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Universe in 100 Colors is a beautiful exploration of the science, history, culture, and art of the visual world around us. The early part of the book begins with an easy to understand scientific explanation of things like, what is color? Afterwards, each color is given a photo and an explanation of what it is and why. The very first color in the book is Cosmic Void, the nothingness that was there in the beginning before existence. Photos range from space, fungi, insects, brain scans, gems, and so much more. I learned a lot from this book, and enjoyed the beautiful artwork. It belongs on the coffee table of anybody that loves science and art!!

Some of my favorite pages were Eigengrau, Cosmic Latte, Egyptian Blue, Venusian yellow, and Luciferin. The blurb about Cosmic Latte is going to stay with me for quite awhile.
