What does colour sound like? How did mauve become the brat green of the Victorians? And why do we think pink is just for girls? Welcome back to Stories in Colour, a vibrant podcast from the National Gallery in London. I'm Bex Leary from the gallery's digital team, and once again, we're uncovering the hidden mysteries behind colour. Hear from curators, scientists, historians, and artists who offer us fresh perspectives on one of the world's most powerful technologies. Join us as we travel back to a time when there was a beautiful blue pigment that cost more than gold, and fast-forward to the present day to hear about the rivals hunting for the blackest shade of black. With vivid storytelling and unexpected discoveries, this is the National Gallery as you've never experienced it before. Listen now to Stories in Colour wherever you get your podcasts.
