Colors – one of the oldest Elements of Human Culture

It is amazing how early we started to use colors in our human culture. We don’t know when we started painting our bodies, but we have some old cave paintings that date back 32.000 years! I am pretty sure we experimented before that with smearing mud and charcoal into our faces.

Already in the bronze and iron ages we had mastered creating most colors and coloring our cloths and daily items. Items found in the fertile crescent showed an early love for making stuff more colorful. Greeks and Roman actually went color crazy.

Ranging from simple fashion statements to political or religious affiliation – color is more important then ever.
