Features: The magic of color can make you look radiant, make you appear slimmer, brighten up your small home, and make it look more spacious. The magic of color is truly amazing! And this book is even named after the magic of color, showing its significant background. The author is a German expert in color research, with profound knowledge and expertise in the history of color and popular fashion. Whether we are doing anything—buying a new car or a piece of new clothing, making large purchases at the supermarket, decorating a new home, quickly navigating the streets, quietly looking through a photo album, or selecting the perfect Christmas gift—we inevitably interact with the mysterious power of color on a regular basis. This book is an introductory guide to color psychology. The author did not write this as a professional book in the field of color studies, and its main focus is rarely on theoretical analysis. Instead, more effort is devoted to cases that are easily understandable and relatable to people. It is presented to readers completely unfamiliar with this field in the form of popular science literature, allowing them to discover the magical power hidden within color. Using simple language, rich examples, and extensive knowledge, the author vividly and engagingly introduces the historical and cultural connotations of various colors, comprehensively analyzes the perspectives of people from different regions, races, and civilizations on color, and thus leads to the origins of popular fashion.
