'Extraordinary. An intellectual feast as well as a visual one' Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes The world comes to us in colour. But colour lives as much in our imaginations as it does in our surroundings, as this scintillating book reveals. Each chapter immerses the reader in a single colour, drawing together stories from the histories of art and humanity to illuminate the meanings it has been given over the eras and around the globe. Showing how artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, explorers and inventors have both shaped and been shaped by these wonderfully myriad meanings, James Fox reveals how, through colour, we can better understand their cultures, as well as our own. Each colour offers a fresh perspective on a different epoch, and together they form a vivid, exhilarating history of the world. 'We have projected our hopes, anxieties and obsessions onto colour for thousands of years,' Fox writes. 'The history of colour, therefore, is also a history of humanity.'

Color plays an important role in our lives from birth. Knowledge of the meaning of colors can help everyone become a master artist in the art of living. Although we constantly use color to both express and accent our lives, the nature and meaning of color remains one of the world’s greatest mysteries. As science advances man’s knowledge, the basic truths of ancient wisdom are continually confirmed. These truths have been handed down to mankind through the mystery teachings of the Egyptians, Pythagorean thought of the Greeks, the Jewish energy system of the Qabalah, and Christianity’s Bible. Color Your World is an exploration into the language, magic, and application of color. Through a unique system of color-number analysis, we can seek a better understanding of color preferences, and learn how color affects our temperament. We learn how to pick personal colors to relax, revitalize and complement personal makeup. Color Your World illustrates the secrets of meditations on the colors, a system that has been used for centuries to attune oneself to the energies of the universe.

What Color Is Your Imagination? was inspired by a conversation with Nadine Owens Burton's then preschool aged son during a car ride home. That four-year-old's question and subsequent declaration about the color of his imagination developed into a lesson on problem-solving for her staff while as a Head Start Director. It has since provided information and inspiration for various other teams. For the past decade plus, Ms. Owens Burton has presented workshops and keynotes based on the theme through her company, Owens Burton Consulting. She is now putting those lessons into a book. The first half of the book begins with a metaphor of the various types of creative and problem solving environments, where these environments are represented by various colors. The ideal is Purple Imagination. The second half gives the reader ten ways to increase one's own creativity and problem solving skills, one's own Purple Imagination.
