Interesting meditation on blue, yellow, and red. Fun to puruse and a good way to study allusions in books, the arts, etc., explore our emotions and psychological reactions to color. This is NOT a particularly linear book. ( )

I bought this, as well as Theroux's The Secondary Colors, at a used book sale because I thought the idea of meditations on color was an intriguing one (I loved Derek Jarman's Chroma), and I was also sucked in by the rave blurbs on the back of each.

I was severely disappointed, to the extent that I not only didn't bother with The Secondary Colors, I barely made a dent in this one. It's nothing but lists of color usage, names, etc., in the form of paragraphs, not organized around any central theme or with any overarching idea in mind. There are lots of interesting facts, but it's all presented in a very boring manner.
