Colors are integral to our lives. Orange can signal danger, green represents nature. They evoke moods and memories--and are used to categorize our world. We talk with British broadcaster and art historian James Fox about his new book, The World According to Color: A Cultural History, and learn about the meanings that we assign to colors and how that affects our beliefs. Also joining us, USM artist-in-residence Amy Stacey Curtis whose current interactive installation in Westbrook prompts visitors to describe the memories and emotions tied to different colors.
