Color has come to mean so much more than absorption and reflection of light or a point on the spectrum from red to violet.

To us, it meant the color of gentrification, painted on the hip walls of ASU’s hip backyard, the melanin in the skin of those fighting tooth-and-nail against a global pandemic or the striped flag representing trans students who struggle to find adequate health care.
