Why is red so crucial for the making of Red Riding Hood? Or, how could emperors distinguish themselves without the color Purple? What would the Discworld be without octarine?

Seeing in color is a fundamental human experience. Until we don’t, of course. Casting something in a particular color can evoke an emotional reaction, and changing colors can change how we perceive objects, events.

We set out to re-imagine the meaning of colors, and boy were we amazed at the submissions we received! From stories centering on your traditional Red, Green, Blue, to some unique ones like bioluminescence and the yellow of sandstone, to those encompassing the whole rainbow, and ending with all the colors we cannot see.
