La couleur est comme l'air qu'on respire. Elle est partout : de la peinture aux feux de signalisation, de la robe blanche de la mariée aux affiches publicitaires, de la mode au langage des fleurs, de la chromatographie à l'héraldique... Mais connaissez-vous la signification des couleurs ? Saviez-vous qu'elle diffère selon les cultures et même les époques ? Pourquoi les cathédrales étaient-elles à l'origine multicolores ? Y a-t-il des noms de couleurs qui soient intraduisibles dans certaines langues ? Qui a découvert le spectre ? Qu'est-ce que le mouvement impressionniste doit à la chimie ? Le noir est-il une couleur ? Amandine Gallienne déploie une palette de 100 mots pour raviver notre perception et nous montrer que la couleur est le marqueur culturel par excellence.
