Nature of Color

Influenced by her classical art training, designer and artist Kimberly Collins Jermain makes colour theory simple and understandable for the everyday reader.

Colour is one of Mother Nature’s most elegant ideas and the most powerful visual tool to inspire human response. After teaching classical art and colour theory for over 35 years, Kimberly Collins Jermain believes the visual skills we need to create art and to design interior spaces can be seen and understood best right outside your back door.

Nature of Color is a field guide for exploring colour theory on hikes, beach walks, while gardening, or when exercising outdoors. Jermain’s simple approach to colour theory will train your perceptions and give you the tools you need to solve everyday problems and create with colour confidence.

Unlike most colour theory texts, Nature of Color is an active practice of outdoor adventure. As you joyfully explore and experience colour outdoors with Nature of Color, you will understand the importance of keeping nature’s exquisite lessons in mind as we navigate and share our natural world.
