'Tis June, and all the lowland swamps

Are rich with tufted reeds and ferns,

And filmy with the vaporous damps

That rise when twilight's crimson burns.

–George Arnold (1834–65)

The Cultural Evolution of Color

Why Does Red Represent Power? A New Book Reveals How Natural History Drives the Cultural Evolution of Color


American Museum of Natural History curator Rob DeSalle’s new book A Natural History of Color explores how cultural meanings get attached to colors, and how they evolve over time. In this excerpt, he examines the lifecycles of red, pink, and blue.

Isaac Newton. Yes, That Isaac Newton.

You've seen the color wheel before: It's just a circle that looks like somebody took the rainbow and attached the red end to the violet end, which is basically what Isaac Newton did when he created the first color wheel in 1666. Newton wanted to figure out where color actually comes from — he knew feeding white light through a prism would make the rainbow color pattern we all know and love on the opposite wall: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet (ROYGBIV, for short). What he didn't understand was why. So, in a darkened room, Newton let a tiny bit of sunlight through a chink in a curtain, making the light diffract through a prism. After messing around with feeding the individual colored lights through other prisms, he came to the conclusion that white sunlight isn't really white at all, but a combination of all the individual colors. He also noticed red and violet were similar (both contain red), so he twisted the band of color around to form a circle. Once he did that, a lot of mathematical relationships between colors became apparent.
And, with that little matter out of the way, Isaac Newton probably went to breakfast and later that day, moved on to inventing modern physics.
...Many others had a go at describing the nature of color (including, but not limited to, the 19th century German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe), but the 12-color wheel used in modern color theory is basically the same one Newton came up with. It includes the primary colors: red, yellow and blue; the secondary colors: green, orange and purple (each made by mixing two primary colors); and the tertiary colors, which are created by mixing primary and secondary colors next to each other on the wheel: red-orange, blue-green, yellow-green, and so on.

"Colors opposite each other on the color wheel — these are also called complements — have an especially strong relationship," says Cooperman. "Red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple are all as different from each other as possible. Opposite colors look more themselves when they're next to each other. If you put blue next to any color at all — let's say a yellow — the yellow will look as orange as it can possibly be because it's next to the blue."
There is an iheart radio podcast describing how color works in this article. Very good.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude completed 23 projects together over 50 years, they were unable to realize 47 more.
Biggest challenge: The Gates was ultimately a triumph, drawing four million visitors to Central Park. But back in the late 1970s, when the duo first conceived of the work, New York City was blighted by crime and the park was in a state of neglect. The Parks Department initially turned down the artists’ permit applications, due in part due to opposition from neighborhood organizations and conservation groups such as the Audubon Society, which feared the potential environmental impact of The Gates.
Most ingenious tactic: Undeterred by setbacks, Christo and Jeanne-Claude opted to wait until they found a powerful ally—Mayor Michael Bloomberg—who supported the project. Christo didn’t even bother to read the Parks Department’s 107-page rejection report in 1981, assuring the New York Times that “I am in good health, the park is still there, and I will do that project.”

Tuesday 6/15 My Background is in Communications, This piece is a beautiful story selling a tough old American Brand. And I relate because at the beginning of Quarantine, I bought a pair of Work pants and hiking shoes and have worn them almost everyday.  They have stains, rips, a bleach spot, paint and my life displayed on them, and the story Jason tells is a beautiful. I didn't really know about Jason until I watched this. https://youtu.be/zL7SobTAnuQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa This sums up Quarantine in a profound way for me.
