Patented: History of Inventions
History
There's a theory that the invention of paint had something to do with the dawn of humanity. We are on a never-ending quest to create brighter, better colours. From grinding rocks, to crushing bugs, concocting chemicals and now manipulating nanotubes - a mind-boggling array of beautiful pigments and dyes litter our history.
Today's guest is Kassia St Clair, author of international bestseller The Secret Lives of Colours.
