About this product

Nature's Palette: A Color Reference System from the Natural World by Patrick Baty is a beautifully illustrated expanded edition of Werner's Nomenclature of Colours, originally compiled by German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1814. This comprehensive reference book explores color through natural specimens, featuring over 1,000 color illustrations and detailed descriptions of hues found in animals, plants, minerals, and more. Each color swatch is paired with real-world examples, such as 'tile red' appearing in porcelain jasper or a bullfinch’s breast, and 'Berlin blue' seen in sapphire and bird feathers. The book includes feature pages showcasing taxidermy, eggs, shells, and butterflies, cross-referenced to the main catalog. It serves as a vital resource for artists, designers, scientists, and historians alike, offering both historical significance and visual richness.
