Abstract
This article analyzes the use of color in illustrations and images from classic fairy tales and their relationship
with human rights, introducing the concept of color transversality as a tool to understand the chromatic
narrative as a means of conveying ideas in these types of images. These stories belong to popular culture
with pedagogical purposes that are often no longer applicable to the new reality. By perpetuating messages
from the past, these stories teach relationships and concepts that are no longer applicable or should not be
considered from a legal perspective when we consider human rights. This study uses the images of Disney's
1937 Snow White and 1951 Alice in Wonderland as references. The color in these images is analyzed through
their social associations and meanings, conducting an exploratory and holistic investigation that includes
an aesthetic, artistic, social, and legal perspective. The study proposes a flow of color information through
chromatic relationships and connections generated through color transversality over time affecting how we
perceive society and how we relate to it. In recent decades, visual readings of these stories have retained some
colored messages related to their original meanings. These meanings can emphasize or attenuate perceptions
that can alter our vision of some of the fundamental pillars of our society, such as human rights to equality
or freedom, among others. This article exemplifies how the chromatology of illustrations in these types of
stories has its narrative that can affect our view of society. Using color transversality, it proposes a reflection
on the context of the image and its chromatic impact in the 21st century.
Keywords: Color, perception, human rights, classic stories, color transversality, Alice in Wonderland,
