This book will makes your life easier by guiding you in choosing the right ccolor combinations to reach the desired hue.
It is simple to use and accurate; don't waste your art supplies by mixing the wrong colors. Great for people like me, afraid of color.

I think this book covers most of what you need to know about color. I like the color charts for each medium. I still think you need to make your own charts, because colors vary. But the color charts in the book are good for reference. I think it could be stronger in the area of color theory, but as a reference book it is good.

Need advice on this book December 2, 2007 1 out of 6 found this review helpful
Have not read this (but gave high ratings because it appears to be pretty much an all-encompassing color theory book), but to post I MUST give a rating. Apologies Amazon.
I am trying to figure out if it would suit my need, which is a book which guides how to mix most shades and tones in the spectrum, via proportion, based on the CMY (Cyan/Magenta/Yellow) primaries.
Does this book cover many different shades and the proportions needed *working from cyan, magenta & yellow*? If not, could anyone PLEASE suggest to me what book DOES?
--if you know, of course :)
Hope you reviewers see this post!
TYVM!
