More About Colour




Color Harmony, much like Living Colors, is a book for helping artists to determine color palettes for their projects. Color Harmony is much more compact than Living Colors. To replace the paintings are photographs depicting different color schemes and the mood each one creates.

For each mood there are several different 2-3 color schemes to help artist choose their palette. These schemes are divided into categories of Monochromatic, Tertiary, Complementary, Split Complementary, Analogous, Split, Clash and Neutral.

There is a color chart for every color within this book. Also included on the cover are gray and black color masks. I haven't used these, because I hate the idea of cutting up any book! Rounding the book out is a color wheel, glossary of terms, and information about the different color moods and trends.
