Want to have all your design questions about color answered? Join Arielle Eckstut and Joann Eckstut, authors of The Secret Language of Color, as they discuss their latest book, What is Color?: 50 Questions and Answers About the Science of Color with Petia Morozov, founder of Montclair Design Week.

What is Color? is a thorough, readable, and highly visual exploration of the science of color illuminated by clear and elegant infographics. Organized by 50 of the most essential questions about color across a variety of fields—physics, chemistry, biology, technology, and psychology—this book examines how and why we see color; how color relates to light; what the real primary colors are; how biology, language, and culture affect the colors that we see; and much more.
