Rare Colors explores the science behind the planet's most uncommon hues, revealing how geological, biological, and chemical processes converge to create these stunning phenomena. It highlights that the rarity of certain colors isn't arbitrary; instead, it reflects specific, often extreme environmental conditions.

For instance, some mineral pigments form only under unique geological circumstances, making their colors valuable indicators of past environmental states. Similarly, rare coloration in animals and plants often arises from specialized biological pathways or evolutionary adaptations.

The book uniquely connects insights from geology, biology, and chemistry, illustrating how these disciplines intersect to explain color formation. By examining rare colors, the book provides new perspectives on environmental science, material science, and conservation efforts.

Rare Colors begins by establishing the physics of color and fundamental formation principles. It progresses through geological origins, biological pigments, and ephemeral colors, using visual data like photographs of unique locales and specimens to support its findings.
