‘Stories in Colour’ is a podcast from the National Gallery telling the histories of one of the most vibrant and influential technologies. These are the stories of how colour has changed the world.
Hear from curators, scientists, historians, artists, and more experts, to look at humanity’s efforts to make colour and make meaning with it.
Along the way, see – and hear – the National Gallery’s paintings in a whole new spectrum of light.
The Times ★★★★ ‘There’s lots to enjoy here.’

The New Statesman: ‘Our emotional reflexes to colour – fear, disgust, calm – are put under the microscope.’
The Guardian: '... deep conversations that make you sit back and think (“What the hell even is colour?”)'
