Common perceptions of interracial love have changed over the past several decades. While there are many people in the world who believe racism is a thing of the past, this is unfortunately not true. In some families—or parts of the country—couples are still forced to fight for their right to be with the person they choose.

Nevertheless, many triumph. In this evocative series of interviews, Jason Davis presents the perspectives of real-life interracial couples in the city of Denver, Colorado. Combined with gorgeous photography by Jonathan Castner, Denver in Color showcases the power of true love, respect, and understanding over ignorance and intolerance. It not only promotes crosscultural awareness, but also speaks to the heart.
