Victoria Finlay is a British writer and journalist, known for her books on colour and jewels. Her most famous book is Colour: Travels Through The Paint Box.[1]
Finlay had become obsessed with colour as a child, when her father took her to Chartres Cathedral and said that people were no longer able to make the blue in the stained glass. In 2000, she decided it was time to go and find out this and other secrets of colour, and Colour: Travels through the Paintbox was published in 2002.[1]
