Features: This book briefly traces the historical development of color composition through "An Overview of Color Composition," reflects on and refines its concepts, and explores the path for reforming color composition teaching in the digital era. It provides in-depth yet accessible explanations of five traditional color composition teaching contents— "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 combination innovation skills are the ultimate goals of color composition courses. Finally, it proposes using "Thematic Color" as a new approach to transitioning from color composition to professional design, fostering innovative thinking, to comprehensively apply the learned color theories and introduce modern design concepts to guide color design. This book is suitable for first- and second-year students in design arts, architecture, and fine arts majors as a professional color foundation course textbook or teaching aid, as well as for instructors of color composition courses in these fields as a reference. It also offers theoretical assistance to professionals in visual communication design, packaging design, fashion design, industrial design, and interior design, serving as a specialized reading material to enhance color combination proficiency.
