Isabelline is the color the queen’s linens had become when the siege finally ended three years later.” 🎀 Pink- “In an article on baby clothes in the New York Times in 1893 the rule stated that you should “always give pink to a boy and blue to a girl”. Because pink was the “more decided and strong color.” Pink is, after all, just faded red, while blue was a signature hue of the Virgin Mary.” _____________ The Secret Lives of Color, by Kassia St. Clair, “tells the unusual stories of 75 fascinating shades, dyes and hues. From the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, from Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers, and from scarlet women to punk’s industrial pink, these surprising stories run like a bright thread through history.”」5月16日 23時32分
