Read the color code

The book is " Reading the Color Code: Why Anger is Red and Depression is Blue " (2022) by Paul Simpson (author) and Yukari Nakayama (translator).

We are surrounded by color every day. From the shoes we wear, to the car we drive, to the favorite picture we have hanging on our wall, everything has a "color" and an underlying "meaning." Color is not just something we "see," but also something we "think about."

Also, thinking about "colors" is also thinking about us, "human beings." Why does a rainbow have seven colors? Why do we wear white dresses? Why is the revolution red? Why did Prince love purple? Colors influence not only individual personalities but also politics, and can be said to move history.

This book explores the mysteries behind color, a subject full of discoveries, by examining it from various angles, including emotion, art, history, religion, science, medicine, politics, and pop culture.

Why are the various objects around us a certain color? What color clothes should I wear for tomorrow's important meeting? What is the best hair color for the character in the picture I'm currently drawing? This book is chock full of hints to resolve such everyday questions and doubts.
This book is fun to read and look at, filled with trivia that you'll want to tell someone about tomorrow and knowledge that will surely come in handy when you want to communicate something to someone.

It's a book that picks up trivia about representative colors and is perfect to read like a dictionary or picture book. I hope that not only adults but also children will read it and become interested in how colors, while being relative, carry people's feelings (Ammel).
