In Living Color: A Prismatic Reading List on Pigment, Paint, and Perception

In Kanya Kanchana's latest reading list, she dives deep into our fascination with color:

"At my writing desk, I run my finger along the tiny glass vials into which I have decanted a dozen oils and potions—root and bark, leaf and flower, fruit and seed—just so I can look at them in the light. I shall make beetroot for lunch, I think, and wash drawing paper in the purple juice. Or perhaps tip a generous green palette into white—bruise spinach with green chilies and curry leaves in coconut oil; crush raw mango with coconut for a chutney; dust some basmati in powder of moringa. “To work magic, to put enchantments upon others, one has first to put enchantments on oneself,” writes Indologist and art historian Heinrich Zimmer. I must color myself so I can soak you in some."

Check out her six story selections.
