Synopsis:
As part of the interdisciplinary publication project “Cultural History of Color”, this talk will explore the continuities and changes of political color schemes between 1650 and 1800. Whereas colors were traditionally associated with social status and dynastic relations, the Enlightenment Age saw the development of modern party colors and of complex color-coded communication in the public sphere.
