A really interesting look at society's relationship with colour.
Why do we perceive white as minimalistic and pure and colourful clutter as poor and chaotic, why is black and white formal, why and how colour is associated with queer culture.
Highly recommend - it's a short but thoughtful book.

There were some sections of this book that I devoured and some that went a bit over my head, but it was overall a really unique analysis of society's complicated relationship with colour. Sometimes I wish the book focused more on political biases against colour and the rise of minimalism because I found that much more compelling than some of the purely academic perspectives.
