Résumé:
Le rouge est en Occident la première couleur que l’homme a maîtrisée, aussi bien en peinture qu’en teinture. C’est probablement pourquoi elle est longtemps restée la couleur «par excellence», la plus riche du point de vue matériel, social, artistique, onirique et symbolique. Admiré des Grecs et des Romains, le rouge est dans l’Antiquité symbole de puissance, de richesse et de majesté. Au Moyen Âge, il prend une forte dimension religieuse, évoquant aussi bien le sang du Christ que les flammes de l’enfer. Mais il est aussi, dans le monde profane, la couleur de l’amour, de la gloire et de la beauté, comme celle de l’orgueil, de la violence et de la luxure. Au XVIe siècle, les morales protestantes partent en guerre contre le rouge dans lequel elles voient une couleur indécente et immorale, liée aux vanités du monde et à la «théâtralité papiste». Dès lors, partout en Europe, dans la culture matérielle comme dans la vie quotidienne, le rouge est en recul. Ce déclin traverse toute l’époque moderne et contemporaine et va en s’accentuant au fil du temps. Toutefois, à partir de la Révolution française, le rouge prend une dimension idéologique et politique. C’est la couleur des forces progressistes ou subversives, puis des partis de gauche, rôle qu’il a conservé jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Soutenu par une abondante iconographie, cet ouvrage est le quatrième d’une série consacrée à l’histoire sociale et culturelle des couleurs en Europe. Rouge.Histoire d'une couleur fait suite à Bleu. Histoire d’une couleur (2000), Noir. Histoired’une couleur (2008) et à Vert. Histoire d’une couleur (2013).

Résumé:
Dealing with color is a complex topic: influenced by standards, fashions, and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color theories, intuition, and personal preferences. Most color classification systems available today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular color? Building on the success of her sample book 128 Colors, Katrin Trautwein presents a new selection of 225 colors, which is the result of her many years of cooperation with architects, designers, and conservators. Each color is presented with a handmade paint sample. Information on each color’s composition and origin is provided, and the features that distinguish it for architecture and design work are described.

Résumé:
It is known that one and the same interior colouring will appear different in rooms with windows facing north or facing south. What is not known is how natural daylight from these two compass points affects perceived colour and the ways in which colour is experienced. The objective of this study is to describe the perceived colours to be expected in rooms with sunlight and diffused light, and thus to develop a tool for colour design.

Résumé:
White not only plays an important role in Japanese cultures in general but also in the work of Kenya Hara, art director for Muji. In ''100 Whites,'' Hara gives 100 examples of white, such as snow, Iceland, rice and wax. On the basis of these examples he discusses the importance of white in design—not only as a color but as a philosophy. Hara describes how he experiments with the different whites he instances, what they mean in the process of his work and how they influence design today. ''100 Whites'' is the extension of Hara's previously published book ''White.'' The publication explores the essence of white, which Hara sees as symbolizing simplicity and subtlety.
