Immersive Color Exploration

Following the tour, dive into the world of historic color trends with me. From the elegant palettes of the early 20th century to the vibrant hues of the psychedelic 60s, I will uncover the stories behind these iconic colors. As an illustration, have you ever wondered about the origins of the avocado green kitchen trend of the 1970s? I will reveal the fascinating history behind these trends and more. Afterwards, I will also be selling and signing a limited number of copies of my book Chromatic Chronicles.
