Color for Designers

About this book

Color for Designers works through the reasoning behind picking colors and assembling palettes, steering away from dense theory and from ready-made palette collections. Jim Krause opens with fundamentals, introducing the color wheel along with hue, saturation and value. Later spreads turn practical, showing how to shift hues, build palettes, aim at a theme, paint, handle digital color and get accurate printed output. The book runs in short, highly visual spreads that get to the point quickly.
