Experience the vibrant world of color from their mindbending physics to the feelings they evoke.

The Nature of Color, a special exhibition organized by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, reveals how color carries information in nature—where organisms use it to find food, warn off predators, and conceal or reveal themselves—and across cultures, where different colors can signal a wide range of meanings, from good luck to power to a sense of urgency.

Visitors will explore the science of color, how colors make us feel, how they are perceived across cultures, the history of color production, and how plants and animals use color to help them survive and reproduce.
