The Universe in 100 Colors takes readers on a journey through the scientific spectrum of color, exposing both the vibrant hues we know and hidden shades beyond our perception.
Tyler Thrasher and Terry Mudge explore colors from the black of dopamine precursors to the peachy orange that would have been the universe's first visible color, offering a unique view of light.
The book reveals not just colors we can see, but also "forbidden colors"—those impossible for our visual system to perceive, such as simultaneous red and green wavelengths.
Mudge notes, "It's a story of light and all the creative paths that it can take in its journey to your eyeball," illustrating the playful nature of color.
