🗣️ Calling all word nerds: Coming this March, TRUE COLOR is a kaleidoscopic journey through the secret history of hues—and the story of the obsessive genius behind the definitions of colors we use today, from the beloved author of Word by Word, Kory Stamper @harmless_drudge .
“An interesting and witty book about how black-and-white dictionaries cope with the complexity of color, True Color shows that the history of the visual spectrum is inextricable from the history of lexicography.”
—Adam Aleksic, author of Algospeak
