Drawing inspiration from nature to popular culture and even biology, this chart shows the transformative power of color.
With the series examining things from Michael Jackson's skin, a smoker's lungs, tea brewing, and even Lil' Kim's hair.
Each design followed by a fact of why the object has experienced this change in color. For example the octupus's ink, the fact that follows is that, "when threatened, octopuses will release a cloud of dark in, giving them enough time to escape and camouflage from predators."
