Addendum on color and culture

In an earlier post, I wrote a little about how race, class, and culture influence perceptions of color (as in, that of paint and dye, not skin). Since then I rediscovered one of the original articles that influenced my thought on the subject:

Color, Chromophobia, and Colonialism: Some Historical Thoughts by Carolyn Purnell for Apartment Therapy. I first encountered this piece when it was shared at Medieval POC: People of Color in European Art History, an excellent and informative blog I recommend visiting.
