The Colour Library is a curated series of photo books exploring the emotional, symbolic, and visual power of colour. Each edition is a visual exploration and celebration of one colour, showcasing its presence, symbolism, and emotional range across different photographic styles and perspectives.
Our first edition is devoted to blue. A colour of depth and distance. Vast as the sky and as still as water. Blue evokes calm, melancholy, serenity and sorrow. Delicate cornflowers, robust denim, precious jewels, and the deepest ocean.
From literal to abstract interpretations, and alternative processes, THE COLOUR LIBRARY: BLUE shares photographers’ wide range of creative expressions.

The photographers selected for THE COLOUR LIBRARY: BLUE are:
Wendy Aldiss, Chris Avis, Jemma Bannocks, Madina Baymirzaeva, Debby Besford, Linnette Birnie, Sarah Callow, Anne Campbell, Julie Cassels, Alice Chapman, Caroline Charrel, Kristel Collison, Michael Croghan, Nell Darby, Quin de la Mer, Marina Dego, Cesca Diebschlag, Eric Fong, Dean Forbes, Matthew Garbutt, Monica Glerean, Nikki Goldup, Jennifer Griffiths, Ángel Gurría-Quintana, Gary Hill, Sarah Ketelaars, Ellie Laycock, Janet Lees, Janice Levy, Anneleen Lindsay, David Lindsey, Kit Martin, John Martyn, Tabanitha McDaniel, Kieran McPeake, Paul Morris, Annette Nina, Kinga Owczennikow, Kevin Parris, Nicola Parry, Nat Persoglio, Berber Maria Rip, Clair Robins, Diogo Romão, Jane Ross, Ann Russell, Chloe Sastry, Tessa Sinclair, Estelle Slegers Helsen, Jo Stapleton, Anne Thomson, Tetiana Titkova, Martin Vallis, Claire Waring, Mary Sue Weinstein, and Elizabeth Wewiora.
