In this episode, I talk with Kory Stamper, author of True Color: The Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color—from Azure to Zine Pink. We explore the strange, funny, and complex history of color — from dictionary definitions and scientific standards to branding, fashion, art, and human perception. Why do color names change? Who decides what a color "really" is? And why is it so hard to pin down something we all think we see clearly? This conversation blends language, science, culture, and storytelling — and will permanently change how you think about color.
