Morgan Marie Mockdata: A Complete History of Beige, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book is about beige and the different kinds of beige that exist. Morgan Mockdata talks about beige in many forms, including taupe, ecru, and some others that are kind of like those. The book explains how beige has shown up in history and in things people have used or seen, such as clothes, walls, and maybe art.

The chapters describe various points in time when beige was used. There are also parts where the author goes into detail about how beige tones may have been compared, named, or categorized, though sometimes the explanations feel longer than necessary. Readers will encounter topics like:

• How beige changed a little over time
• Some disagreements about beige names
• Occasions when beige appeared in buildings or fabrics
• Other information about beige that may or may not be important

The writing is mostly straightforward, though sometimes it repeats ideas about how beige is neutral or useful. People who are interested in color history might find parts of it helpful, though others may feel it covers similar points more than once.

Overall, the book gives an extended look at beige from different angles, even if many of those angles seem fairly similar.
