Synopsis

Master color with a measured system that defines hue, value, and chroma for every shade.

This book presents a three‑dimensional approach to color that goes beyond simple labels. By using scientific scales and reliable pigments, it shows how to express and reproduce color relations with consistency across time and place. The method aims to be practical for teaching, designing, and evaluating color balance in art, craft, and education.

• Learn to describe colors with precise scales of hue, value, and chroma that can be measured and replicated.
• See how plates II and III reproduce children’s color studies to illustrate measured color relations.
• Explore the idea of color balance and harmony as a settled, scientific goal rather than a matter of taste.
• Understand the role of apparatus and written notation in recording color sensations for learning and reference.

Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, classroom‑friendly system for understanding and applying color theory in art, design, and education.
