About this title

Synopsis

A consummate guide to color, this indispensable, spiralbound volume displays 80 color schemes -- drawn from a variety of different mediums, from architecture and apparel to paintings and pottery, across a range of historical periods -- each individually presented, described, and illustrated in a handy, gatefold format, with representative four-color images and actual printed chips for matching against the project at hand. From the dominant reds of ancient Egyptian ochers to the psychedelic palettes of the sixties, Living Colors will inspire professionals and laypeople alike in choosing colors for a multitude of uses.
