Why read it?
1 author picked The Colour Storm as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Colour Storm is set in Venice in 1510, where the Renaissance’s greatest artists are competing to be the first artist to get their hands on a mysterious new pigment, which is said will transform art forever but may only exist to drive them all mad.
