At the intersection of science and art, this must-have coffee table book will open your eyes to colors that youve never seen before.

Life has had over 3 billion years to evolve here on planet Earth. During that time, weve developed an arsenal of senses to decipher the universe. And for the most part we have collectively rocked our senses. With our amazing ability to paint, create, decode, scan, and unravel our visual reality, it would be hard to believe that there are some things the average human can overlook. This design-forward book highlights 100 mind-blowing colors that you might otherwise live your whole life unaware of. These colors exist in the strangest of places, and serve extremely specific functions in nature, or were human-made with one goal in mind. From Cosmic Latte (the average color of the universe) to Dragons Blood (a tropical tree that bleeds a deep red resin with incredible medicinal potential); Sonoluminescence (a color created by sound!) to Eiengrau (the color we perceive in the absence of light, and no, its not "pitch black"), here is the universe in living color.

Includes:

Index, Glossary, and Notes
