While editing dictionaries for Merriam-Webster, Stamper became obsessed with the whimsical, ultra-precise color entries in Webster’s Third—like “begonia (n.): a deep pink that is bluer than fiesta and stronger than sweet william.” Who wrote these, and what did “bluer than fiesta” even mean?Her search leads to I. H. Godlove, a brilliant and erratic color scientist whose life traces the wild evolution of color science, color psychology, and color production across the twentieth century. Along the way come chemical explosions, office politics, unexpected romance, and facts you won’t forget—like how “puke” once named a fashionable reddish-brown.Kory Stamper has spent nearly thirty years writing dictionaries for Merriam-Webster, Cambridge Dictionaries, and Dictionary.com, and is the author of Word by Word. Her work has appeared in The Guardian, The New York Times, New York, and The Washington Post.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/lectures-on-tap-the-strange-and-spectacular-quest-to-define-color/100001984940678001 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Flectures-on-tap-the-strange-and-spectacular-quest-to-define-color-tickets-1984940678001 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 41.32, max: 41.32, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Carroll Gardens - **lat**: 40.6795331 - **long**: -73.9991637 - **full address**: Carroll Gardens, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Felecia For The Win (https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/19490935e7a24206ac47d6f50deccb9a874eaf31d03e4a460cb5f0be3f509a85-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0e1da-gmir.jpg?v=1774854251 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/22539d279daaad85f03a533ff591e6ab7fd30e624eb8d80ffc6d0496510ef683-rimg-w400-h400-dcdfe0d9-gmir.jpg?v=1774854251 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Carroll Gardens, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 41.32 up to 41.32 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Felecia For The Win - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Lectures on Tap - "The Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color" ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Lectures on Tap - "The Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color"", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/19490935e7a24206ac47d6f50deccb9a874eaf31d03e4a460cb5f0be3f509a85-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0e1da-gmir.jpg?v=1774854251", "startDate": "2026-04-20T18:30:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-20T20:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/lectures-on-tap-the-strange-and-spectacular-quest-to-define-color/100001984940678001", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Carroll Gardens", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Carroll Gardens", "postalCode": "11231", "addressLocality": "Brooklyn", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.6795331", "longitude": "-73.9991637" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in NYC bars.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-30", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-20T20:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-30", "lowPrice": "41.32", "highPrice": "41.32", "price": "41.32", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/lectures-on-tap-the-strange-and-spectacular-quest-to-define-color/100001984940678001" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-30", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-30", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/lectures-on-tap-the-strange-and-spectacular-quest-to-define-color/100001984940678001", "price": "41.32", "name": "Admission Ticket" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Felecia For The Win", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484", "description": "Felecia is a software engineer, content creator, and host with over 700k followers across her social media platforms.
