📖 Book review : History palette

Author: Monsisha Rung Chawran

Historical Section

From the Salmon book. 🍣

Content 💬

• The Dark Side of White vs The Bright Side of Black Story

• Red carnations represent love

• Green used to represent wealth and murderers.

• Brown is expensive because it is made of corpses

• Orange and orange fruit, what happens first?

• Yellow becomes a mark of deception.

• Purple is the color of royalty.

• Blue was discovered while producing red.

• When does pink become a woman's color?

• What does the rainbow color (7 colors) mean?

📍 After Reading End Review: 5 / 5 💫

Each chapter is divided into a short topic, but not academically focused. It focuses on easy reading content. It makes history a lot more fun. It makes you know how each color came from and how it was interpreted in each era. We really like this writer's writing. It's so crazy that now we keep every book that this writer wrote. I want everyone to try to read it. Very recommended.

... Read moreหลังจากที่ได้อ่าน History Palette แล้ว สิ่งที่ทำให้ประทับใจคือการที่หนังสือไม่ได้เน้นแค่ข้อมูลเชิงวิชาการแบบแห้งๆ แต่กลับเลือกเล่าเรื่องราวของสีแต่ละสีในมิติที่ลึกซึ้งและน่าสนใจ เช่น สีขาวที่มีบทบาทด้านมืดและสีดำที่ถือเป็นด้านสว่าง สอดคล้องกับประวัติศาสตร์และความเชื่อของแต่ละยุคสมัยอย่างน่าทึ่ง สิ่งที่ชอบมากคือการกล่าวถึงสีน้ำตาลในหนังสือซึ่งเป็นสีที่ราคาแพงเพราะมีต้นทุนที่แปลกไม่เหมือนสีอื่น เพราะทำมาจากศพ นี่เป็นข้อมูลที่แปลกใหม่และทำให้เรามองว่าสีแต่ละสีไม่ได้ถูกกำหนดเพียงแค่ด้านความงาม แต่ยังผูกพันกับประวัติศาสตร์ สังคม และวัฒนธรรมอย่างลึกซึ้ง ส่วนเรื่องสีเขียวที่เคยเป็นตัวแทนความมั่งคั่งและฆาตกร ก็ทำให้รู้ว่าความหมายของสีสามารถเปลี่ยนแปลงได้ตามสถานการณ์และความเชื่อในแต่ละยุค ซึ่งเป็นมุมมองที่ช่วยให้เรารู้จักสีในมิติที่กว้างขึ้น และช่วยให้เราตระหนักถึงประวัติศาสตร์ที่ซ่อนอยู่เบื้องหลังสิ่งที่เราเห็นทุกวัน อีกส่วนที่ประทับใจคือความเรียบง่ายในการเล่าเรื่อง เช่น การถามเล่นๆ ว่าสีส้มหรือผลส้มเกิดก่อน สร้างจุดเชื่อมต่อที่ง่ายและใกล้ตัวมากขึ้นกับผู้อ่าน จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การที่หนังสืออ่านง่าย สั้นกระชับ และมีความหลากหลายของหัวข้อในแต่ละบท ทำให้เหมาะกับการอ่านเพลินในขณะพักผ่อน และยังเป็นแรงบันดาลใจให้สนใจประวัติศาสตร์ผ่านสีสันประจำวันมากขึ้น โดยรวม History Palette ไม่ใช่แค่หนังสือประวัติศาสตร์ทั่วไป แต่เป็นการเปิดโลกทัศน์ใหม่เกี่ยวกับสีที่ทุกคนคุ้นเคยและใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน ซึ่งช่วยเพิ่มคุณค่าและความหมายให้กับสีที่เรามองข้ามไปตลอดมา
