"David Coles has spent the entire life up to his elbows in this subject - he covers colour with beauty, depth and understanding. Anyone who has ever wondered about the origins of mummy brown, Tyrian purple or how manure makes the purest white need look no further." Narayan Khandejar, Director of the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies, Harvard Art Museums
Did you know that the Egyptians created the first synthetic colour; or that the noblest purple comes from a predatory sea snail? Throughout history, artist pigments have been made from deadly metals, poisonous minerals, urine, cow dung, and even crushed insects. From grinding down beetles and burning animal bones to alchemy and serendipity, Chromatopia reveals the origin stories of over 50 of history's most extraordinary pigments.
Spanning the ancient world to modern leaps in technology, this book is for the artist, the history buff, the science lover or the design fanatic.

Runs big, and fabric may not be same color as picture
Color: Medium Grey, Size: 16, Color: Medium Grey, Size: 16
This suit was a good find for us, as we usually dress up for church, and my 13 yo son often wears suits. He normally wears a size 16, so that’s what we ordered, and in dark charcoal gray. The suit we got was a light, heathered gray that didn’t look much like the one in the picture. It was very wrinkly and thin, and a little scratchy. Also, the sleeves were way too long and the torso cut of the jacket was pretty wide. The pants were very large in the waist, but fit him decently in the length (he’s 5’4” and weighs 90 lbs). Overall the suit looked like it was drowning him, so I would order a size down unless you have a larger child/teen. Because of the ill fit, I haven’t had the chance to see what the suit looks like on him as it’s supposed to, but I guess I’ll return it or wait a year or two until he fills it out a bit more. Not overly impressed with the quality, so I’m not sure I’d pay $55 for this one again.

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

Very stylish💜💜
Size: 6, Color: Light Blue, Size: 6, Color: Light Blue
This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
