Pigments of Imagination: Colors to Paint the Four Walls of Your Mind Paperback – January 27, 2025

What color would you paint the four walls of your mind? In this captivating, innovative book, fictional color swatches become the language of the soul, painting a poetic landscape of human experiences.Just as a painter selects shades to convey mood and meaning, each color and its accompanying, poetic name were meticulously chosen to encapsulate a feeling, a metaphor, or a fleeting moment. From the crimson of "Watching your own life from the nosebleeds" to the mint green of "Trying to shove the years back in like toothpaste," these imaginative paint swatches breathe life into emotions that often transcend words.Whether it's the bone-colored nostalgia of "Holding onto the memory so hard your knuckles flush" or the fiery orange of "an old flame you forgot to blow out," each swatch invites readers to explore the rich interconnectivity of human existence.From the road-sign green of "Street signs named after people you used to love" to the traffic-cone orange of "Taking a detour," every color tells a story, inviting readers to see the world through a kaleidoscope of emotions. With boundless creativity and poetic eloquence, this book proves that there's a color for every feeling and a story behind every shade.Lucy VanRegenmorter is a Chicago Based artist, writer, and photographer.
