Joann and Arielle Eckstut on their book, The Secret Language of Color

Color experts Joann Eckstut and Arielle Eckstut talk about their new book, The Secret Language of Color: Science, Nature, History, Culture, Beauty of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet with host Kathleen Stephenson.

Joann Eckstut and Arielle Eckstut both have successful careers based on their color expertise. Indeed, the two felt well positioned when they set out to write a book about color, but their investigation quickly took them far beyond the realms of art and design that most of us associate with color and into physics, chemistry, astronomy, optics, neuroscience, geology, botany, zoology, human biology, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, art history, cartography, and much more. 
 
Joann and Arielle share their exploration of a little-understood subject.
