American artist Tauba Auerbach presents the 8 x 8 x 8-inch hard-back cubes illustrating the RGB colour scheme in a page-by-page medium. A digital offset print on paper with airbrushed cloth cover and book edges create a colourful reference volume of all the colours in existence. The special binding was co-designed by the artist herself in collaboration with Daniel E. Kelm, and were printed at Wide Awake Garage, an independent bookbinder, with help from Leah Hughes.
