The history and mystery of colour naming
Color standards have been around for a couple of hundred years, but the 1912 reference work, Color Standards and Nomenclature by Robert Ridgway is a classic. It combines meticulous calculation of colour graduations with a practical and poetic naming strategy drawing on the natural world. It's a book I refer to in naming the new range of Fold+Rºlls but it has a wider place in understanding how we need to define and name the world around us in order to communicate with one another.
