Actually, Colors Speak

Book excerpt: This is a discourse in a lab. No, not an everyday discussion between humans, but a chance conversation between a camera, binoculars and a microscope who try to understand the world of colors. Veering away from their regular task of aiding their human, a naturalist, these three instruments embark on a learning journey. In this journey, they share their knowledge and perspectives from their own previous adventures. There is nothing devoid of colors, they are everywhere—from the tiny spaces of cells to the vast expanse of the space. If colors are omnipresent, does their existence have multitude of purposes? The camera, binoculars, and the microscope, through their discourse, dive deep into these rarely considered aspects and reveal the secret behind the colours around.
