Monday Eye Candy: The Color Revolution

Color revolutionHappy Monday! Here's some eye candy from The Color Revolution by Regina Lee Blaszczyk. There are so many great images in this book (121 color illustrations, to be exact) that we're splitting this eye candy post in two--check back next week for more from this book. As always, click on each image to enlarge.
