Explore the world of colour in a whole new light in this fascinating and vibrant book. If you have ever wondered how we see colours, how our eyes work, why the sky looks blue, how animals use colour, why blood is red, and other big questions about how colour works, then this is the book for you. Explained in an accessible way and combined with gorgeous illustrations, this is a perfect book for young readers and budding scientists.
The colours of the rainbow seem so simple, but their endless combinations give us a stunningly beautiful world. And the best thing is that colours only get better as you look more closely. This is a topic for everyone to enjoy, from the youngest to the oldest, and this book gives a wonderful introduction to how it all works. -- Dr Helen Czerski
