exceptional Café Culturel on January 27 at 6:30 pm. Joseph Gal, PhD. Professor at the University of Colorado will present his findings
about the color Mauve, a color that revolutionized science, pharmaceuticals, and medicine.
A brief outline: In 1856 William Perkin, an 18-year-old chemistry student in London, attempted to prepare quinine in the laboratory. Quinine, a natural product, was the only effective drug against malaria at the time. Perkin’s attempt failed but it led to the invention of mauve, a synthetic dye. The invention made a great impact in the world of dyes, colors, and fashion, and revolutionized science, pharmaceuticals, and medicine.
