Summary
Given its importance in analyzing and influencing the world around us, an understanding of color is a vital tool in any design process. Colour designprovides a comprehensive review of the issues surrounding the use of color, from the fundamental principles of what color is to its important applications across a vast range of industries. Part one covers the main principles and theories of color, focusing on the human visual system and the psychology of color perception. Part two goes on to review color measurement and description, including consideration of international standards, approval methods for textiles and lithographic printing, and color communication issues. Forecasting color trends and methods for design enhancement is discussed in part three as well as the history of color theory, dyes and pigments, and an overview of dye and print techniques. Finally, part four considers the use of color across a range of specific applications, from fashion, art and interiors, to food and website design.
