    What Hacker News says

      This is an excellent resource. Thank you. Explains very clearly the pre-history of color systems.

      Two other refs....

      Kuehni, Rolf G., and Andreas Schwarz. Color ordered: a survey of color systems from antiquity to the present. Oxford University Press, 2008.

      And Handprint.com

      The guy that runs handprint probably knows more about color than any man alive.

      Thanks for the reference. It is a subject I would like to know more about.

      Let me comment, though, that I've never before seen a review that says that a book from a reputable publisher is bound with the pages at random: https://www.amazon.com/Color-Ordered-Systems-Antiquity-Prese... . In addition I see that there are three reviews, two 5's and a 1, and Amazon says "5 star" is 53%. Hmmm.
