Book talk: Tyler Thrasher and Terry Mudge on A Color Wheel of Wonders
How many colors could there really be? Turns out, truly so many – and they serve far more functions than just splashing on an accent wall to give the room a fun little pop. In fact, color plays an incredibly important and fascinating role everywhere from the natural world to the science lab to the far reaches of space.
In their new coffee table art book The Universe in 100 Colors: Weird and Wondrous Colors from Science and Nature, science enthusiasts and advocates Tyler Thrasher and Terry Mudge dip into this vast variety of colors and the niche roles they fill. From brilliantly adapted pigments in nature to human-made hues with specific functions in mind, The Universe in 100 Colors takes readers on a technicolor tour well beyond the rainbow. Through vibrant full-page visuals and corresponding snappy color commentary, expect to learn about colors created by tropical trees and deep sea creatures, by aerospace engineers and radioactive chemicals, by sound waves and by the absence of light entirely.
