History of Colors


Laphams Quarterly visit this website and see how the color has involved over the years.  You might think that color has been in our world forever, but the pigments are discovered!

This book is good read on the development of paints for the canvas

"Colors  The Story of Dyes and Pigments",
another read of how we achieved the colors we
use today

And if you are into natural dyes, then this is 
the one for you!  BLUE!  One of the most
amazing colors we have in our life

And RED!  The little bug that transformed 
how we color our world.
