Colour Bible

Colour is intrinsic to the human experience: it guides us with subconscious visual cues throughout our lives. Get it right in your design or art, and you can enhance mood and atmosphere and create a desired psychological or even physiological effect. This contemporary handbook dives into 100 profiles of significant colours and tracks them from their genesis; explores historical usage in art and design, as well as contemporary connotations and uses; and presents practical advice on how to use and combine colours in your work.
