520			_aHideaki 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. 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. The Color Guide divides colors into six broad categories: warm, cool, light, dark, vivid and dull. Each category is illustrated with a color photograph. 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. 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. Practical Applications. Some of the applications for color combinations in art, industry and daily life are illustrated. - Choosing Colors. Twelve useful guidelines for selecting your own color combinations. Color Conversion Chart for the 61 basic colors into percentages of four-color process inks lets you simulate the colors with four-color printing. 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.
