The book 'Colour in Time' shows the reader that colour plays an important role in our daily life, from the moment we get up in the morning until bedtime. This book clarifies the practical applications of colour as well as the different visual and commercial disciplines in which colour is actively used.

'Colour in Time' is a thematic book, each chapter describes not only the current situation, but actual examples put it in an historic perspective. The main themes are colour in the personal domain, in the home, on the road, at stations, airports, in the public domain (architecture, advertising, art) and in the virtual domain (internet, television). There are also shorter essays on specific themes, by internationally acclaimed authors, which cover the following areas: Art, Motion art (film, documentaries, videoclips, theatre), Fashion, accessories, cosmetics, Design, Architecture, Corporate identity (e.g. Ferrari-red, Heineken-green) Marketing, Signing (e.g.flags, emoticons) and Media.
