The Anatomy of Colour is the definitive book on the use of colour and paint in interior decoration over a 300-year period. Drawing on his huge specialist archive, historian and paint expert Patrick Baty traces the evolution of pigments and paint colours together with colour systems and standards, and examines their impact on the colour palettes used in interiors from 1650 to 1960. He first charts the creation in paint of the common and expensive colours made from traditional earth pigments between 1650 to 1799.

Next he examines the emergence of colour systems and standards and their influence on paint colours together with the effect of industrialized production on the texture and durability of paints. Alongside the authoritative and revealing text are specially commissioned photographs of pages from rare colour books. Throughout the book reproductions of interiors from home decor books, highlighting the distinctive colour trends and styles of painting particular to each period, accompany the in-depth analysis of the history of colour and the development and use of paint colours in interior design.

Smelly but nice
Color: 100ml #01-Pearl White
The product is very beautiful but has an odd smell to it. I can really only describe it as a “Germ-X” smell, but I believe perfume can cover this well.

Glow Up Must-Have!
Color: 100ml #04-Golden Brown
This body shimmer oil is EVERYTHING! I need products that make an impact with zero fuss, and this delivers. The glow it gives? Chef’s kiss. It’s like walking around with a soft-focus filter on my skin – radiant, sun-kissed, and oh-so-hydrated. ✨ The texture is light and silky, no greasy residue, and it absorbs quickly, so I’m not standing around waiting for it to dry. Perfect for a quick swipe-and-go before heading out. Plus, it pairs beautifully with my fave foundation for a subtle gleam on my face. Bonus points for how moisturizing it is – my skin feels SO soft! Whether I’m running errands or heading to a rooftop party, this is my secret weapon for that effortless glow. Don’t walk, RUN to add this to your cart!

White is not white its Gold
Color: 100ml #01-Pearl White, Color: 100ml #01-Pearl White
I thought the white was going to actually be white but the glitter is gold. My fault for not double checking. Its still pretty just not what I wanted.

HEALTHY, SAFE, and nice shiny bronzer!
Color: 100ml #03-Bronze Gold
PLEASE buy a body shimmer like this that uses synthetic mica powder (or real mica) instead of the ones that use legit plastic glitter omg. I have the most sensitive skin and have hives most of the time and I had no reaction to this! the shimmer on this is insane, like so good, and it bronzes you. I put this on my legs, like just a little, and I looked very bronze and shimmery. i don't like to love products or companies but I love this stuff. also it smells so good. very fresh. I will say the shimmer transfers to clothes JUST A LITTLE. but I want to be sparkly all the time so yeah.
