5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome book
I found this book an excellent visual guide to color on the printed page. Search Google on "Jean Bourges" and look for the "Bourges Color Wheel" to get a sense of the depth this book offers. Chapter 3 opened my eyes to the power of adding black in 10% increments. This book is a CMYK labor of love.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment!
This thin, self-published book purports to help the graphic artist choose the right computer colors through a complex formula that is ridiculously impractical. Much of the information in the book is trite, out-of-date and not very helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding Color Reference., September 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Color Bytes: Blending the Art and Science of Color (Paperback)
This is one of the most wonderful color references I've ever found. It is so easy to read, yet packed full of information and history. I can't wait for Ms. Bourges next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll want to keep this book handy!, January 3, 1999
This review is from: Color Bytes: Blending the Art and Science of Color (Paperback)
This is a wonderfully interesting, easy to read book that is educational, informative and an invaluable reference. I am a graphic designer, and I keep "Color Bytes" close by my computer so I can refer to it often. I especially enjoyed learning more about the psychological effects of color use, and their applications in advertising and design. I heartily recommend this book!
