Features: The practicality and intuitiveness of this handbook make choosing and using color no longer blind. Various colors and color combinations can harmoniously enhance different atmospheres. Whether you are involved in any design—graphic design, interior design, printing and publishing, industrial design, or art design—you can always find the best color combinations. The handbook includes detachable color samples for easy mixing and matching to test effects, making it an essential tool for color designers. Influential German artist Josef Albers, in his highly influential book "Interaction of Color" published in 1963, said that human auditory memory is excellent—once or twice listening to a melody can be remembered, but our visual memory, especially color memory, is poor. Ironically, those who master color skillfully, including artists and various designers, are often troubled by this natural deficiency. The fact is that for those with creative vision, color often carries many emotional, psychological, personal, and cultural connotations, making color itself very complex. This book is specifically designed to end such confusion and is tailored for anyone who wants to accurately grasp color. It includes: basic color information, color wheel themes, color combinations for easy reference, and color samples for easy consultation. With this information, color professionals can confidently and creatively tackle their work, whether they are designing a brochure, a painting, or even interior decoration.
