Excerpts

Who painted the trees green? Well, nature can do this and other magic. Nature abounds in colors of all shades. Long, long ago, people began to name colors after plants, animals, and minerals they saw them in to better tell them apart. But as time passed, ever more plants, animals, and minerals were discovered that reminded us of colors already named. So we started to use the names for shades we already knew to name these new natural elements. What are these names? Join us as we look at beautiful color shades one by one - from snow white to canary yellow, ruby red to forget-me-not blue and moss green to the blackest black, dark as the night sky. On each spread, some shades can be connected to a particular plant, animal, or a stone you can find in the picture. Can you match these colors with the corresponding object?
