Happily, designers and artists are once again tinkering with this most fundamental of building blocks, and the results are both dramatic and seductive in equal measure. Whether their experiments result in what looks like an explosion in a hair dye factory or geometry-emitting blueshifted colour signals, the one thing they all agree on is that colour is personal.
