Features: This book incorporates the feedback from readers of "Color Palette Dictionary" and professionals related to color, offering a user-friendly color reference that adapts to diverse professional requirements and the systematic new series of "Color Palette Dictionary." It is concise yet highlights key points, organized by color tone content. First, the book is divided into four major sections, and various color tones are categorized into stages within their possible range, represented through printing. It is divided into:
- White / Light Colors / Bright Colors (three stages of bright and clear intermediate tones);
- Cool Colors (mild and subdued tones with less vibrant hues);
- Warm Colors / Dark Colors (vibrant and bright tones combined with deep shades);
- Black / Gray (dark tones and dull, neutral shades).
It is worth noting that not only are combinations of the same tone rich, but pairings of other tones that derive from them are also quite diverse. In particular, the frequently used camel and gray color series are categorized as neutral tones within the cool color range.
At the beginning of each chapter, the basic colors of the tone are presented as sample color blocks, cycling from yellow to colors. Since each printing color has a specified concentration in its respective pairing, the proportions of concentration must strictly follow the designated ratios in the printing originals to be used correctly.
