Every Color Has a Story: History on the Palette

Hosted by the Connetquot Public Library

Do you know the history of the colors in your world? All they tints, hues, dyes, and shades of the colors around you can be traced back to a specific point in history - and the stories they tell are amazing! Which came first – the fruit orange or the color orange? Was Lincoln Green named after Mary Lincoln? This Illustrated Lecture will share with you the powerful - and colorful! - history of color. Librarian Laura Keyes will be delighting audiences with her colorful presentation on 14 August at 2:30pm EASTERN time.
