Spanning a vast expanse of time, from ancient civilizations to the present day, the book encompasses a wide range of topics, including flags, synaesthesia, Theosophy, theater design, film, chromotherapy, and chromophobia. Through captivating examples and illustrations, Gage showcases the multifaceted applications of color and its profound impact on human experiences.
