Reader reviews for The Secret Lives of Color
Review summary
Readers largely praised Kassia St Clair’s survey of 75 shades as engaging, trivia-packed brain candy, lauding its elegant design and short, self-contained entries that blend art, science, and cultural history. Many called it a dip-in, bedside or coffee-table read and a reliable conversation starter. Criticism centered on a piecemeal, sometimes repetitive feel and limited analytical depth, with some finding sections dry; it’s best approached as a reference or sampler rather than a sustained work of color theory.
