The Secret Lives of Color

This year’s spring color trends are a bold array—yellow, green, orange, red. Plus, the colors avocado green and mustard yellow, last stylish in the 70s, are back in. And this isn’t random, according to journalist Kassia St. Clair. Individual colors have long, fascinating histories. St. Clair authored "The Secret Lives of Color," which describes the history of 75 different shades, dyes, and hues.
