Summary, etc Hideaki Chijiiwa has compiled this exciting guide for use by graphic designers, fashion and interior designers, artists - and indeed all who require to choose combinations of colors for creative effect. While the central section (pages 44 to 121) consists of a very extensive range of different color combinations to make choices from, Color Harmony is in fact very much more than this. The delightful presentation from page 1 on provides a subtle introduction to color theory right through to the very useful color cards of all the basic colors used for the guide.<br/>In The Living Palette we look at some of the uses and emotions associated with eight familiar colors: red, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black and white.<br/>The Color Guide divides colors into six broad categories: warm, cool, light, dark, vivid and dull.<br/>Each category is illustrated with a color photograph.<br/>Color Schemes. The photographs and color combinations in this section will show you how to create a color scheme that's: striking, tranquil, exciting, natural, warm, cold, young, feminine or surprising.<br/>Color Combinations. The 1662 color combinations in this section are for two, three or four of the 61 basic colors of the guide, selected and arranged in order to convey a specific impression, or bring to mind a certain emotion. Each color combination is effectively arranged in a fan shape - the dominant color always on the right, subordinate colors on the left.<br/>Practical Applications. Some of the applications for color combinations in art, industry and daily life are illustrated.<br/>- Choosing Colors. Twelve useful guidelines for selecting your own color combinations.<br/>Color Conversion Chart for the 61 basic colors into percentages of four-color process inks lets you simulate the colors with four-color printing.<br/>Color Cards. Finally a full range of color cards for the 61 basic colors can be used with the masks on the book jacket flaps, or cut out and used separately.
