Features: This book briefly traces the historical development of color composition through "A Review of Color Composition," reflects on and refines its concepts, and explores the direction of reforming color composition teaching in the digital era. It provides in-depth yet accessible explanations of five traditional color composition teaching content— "Color Physics," "Color Visual Perception," "Color Mixing," "Color Contrast," and "Color Harmony"—from theory to practice, emphasizing that pigments are merely one form of expression and means for color. Understanding the scientific principles of color and cultivating color-matching innovation capabilities are the ultimate goals of color composition courses. Finally, it proposes using "Thematic Color" as a new approach to shifting color composition towards professional design, fostering innovative thinking, to comprehensively apply the learned color theory and introduce modern design concepts to guide color design. This book is suitable as a professional color foundation course textbook or supplementary material for first- and second-year students in design arts, architecture, and fine arts majors. It is also ideal as a teaching reference for instructors of color composition courses in the aforementioned fields. For professionals in visual communication design, packaging design, fashion design, industrial design, and interior design, the book offers theoretical guidance and serves as a specialized read to enhance color-matching proficiency.
