 Looking for better guidelines for use of color May 17, 2007

Overwhelmed with color combos, but not effective guidelines for combining.
Made for Japanese artists? December 12, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The primary target audience for this books seems to have been Japanese, with Westerners as an afterthought.
The books does contain hundreds of color combinations, but throughout the book the 61 colors used to form different combinations are identified according to the Dai Nippon Inc Color (DIC) System.
The book also contains swatches in 61 colors, which you can cut out with scissors, and which are on the back also identified according to DIC system.
At the end of the book there is a conversion chart, where you can find what color in DIC system correspondes to what color in CMYK, but it is way less convenient that using color combination books like Color Harmony Workbook by Lisa Sawahata, which I have found to be infinitely better and much more practical and user-friendly for Westerners.
Hard to use March 25, 2006

This book has some decent information, but using the colors in the book is made ridiculously difficult by the color chart at the end of the book. First, if a value is a zero, they put nothing at all. This makes it difficult for your eye to trace the line of numbers for your color. Second, though the colors are given in CMYK, they are given in the order YMCK. This means to enter the color into Photoshop or another image program, you have to start with the third number, read back to the first, then jump to the last. It's not brain surgery, but much more difficult than it should be.

This book is a great tool for finding color combinations. It contains small samples of 2, 3, and 4-color combinations. At the bottom of each combination page is a tip for using colors together. My only quibble is that the samples are VERY small, probably because the footprint of the book is also small.
Recommended for getting ideas on color.
