Today’s business world relies on effective use of colour to promote its products, both tangible goods and images. Understanding Color has long stood as an indispensable introduction to the effective use of colour for design applications, with detailed treatment of the language, psychology, cultural associations, core concepts of colour and much more.

Reorganised and updated to reflect the needs of today’s courses in colour and design, it introduces a new generation of artists and designers to the fundamental concepts of colour and how to use them.

  • Detailed treatment of colour illusions and special effects
  • Coverage of the impact of new light sources on colour perception
  • Explanation of different digital display modes in presenting colour
  • A companion website including a downloadable workbook

From theory and practical implementation to business and marketing aspects, Understanding Color is ideal for students and instructors in schools of art and design.
