"A comprehensive and practical guide to the world of color. The first half of the book is organized into chapters on each of the primary, secondary and tertiary colors. The author combines color history, composition and attributes, mythology, science, botany, chemistry and synthetic colors, and historical use by famous artists. The second half of the book is information on pigment standards, color terminology and the mixing of colors. It features an extensive 450-color index and a guide to suppliers. The color index is laid out with 12 colors per page, each identified by name and manufacturer, including product numbers."--, Provided by publisher
