The Right Chemistry: Colors in Fashion, 1704-1918
This exhibition "begins at a time when few dyers were chemists and almost all colors were extracted from living organisms, and ends at a time when dyes were synthesized in laboratories." Features a discussion of the creation of red, blue, yellow, white, beige, purple (including the "rage for mauve and the aniline dye boom" in the late 1850s and 1860s), and green dyes, along with images of historical clothing. From the Kent State University Museum.
