I was disappointed with the book. Though the content are not exactly uninteresting (such as the association of Grey with hope after the invention of printing), Stewart utterly fails to cover a number of the most classical associations, such as green with, appropriately enough, hope. However, the organization of the book is exceedingly frustrating. The idea of color underlining cross-references is cute, but the density of them, caused by the complete vacuity and irrelevance of 90% of them (not counting those that are outright not aimed at the right pages to begin with!) become tedious within a few pages. It doesn't help that the worse offenders, such as chinese green hats connected to every single references to clothes or fashion imaginable reoccur so often they become almost predictable (almost only because the connection can and will get ridiculously tenuous).
