This guide to createive color combinations is a must have for students and new designers. Information on what the colors mean (what feelings they give), color schemes, color combinations, color applications, color conversion, choosing colors, it's all there! A must have for designers! Worth every penny.

I am currently studying color theory and composition. In my opinion the text part of the book give only very basics of the color theory. However, it is really easy to learn from it because of compact and in the same time just relevant information.
This book gives an insight in (1) emotional impact of colors and their combinations; (2) suggests the recommended applications; (3) tells about colors' usage in different cultures and (4) provides samples and color combination guide.
The samples and color combination guide is the best part of the book! The main thing is that you can apply ready samples and color combinations directly in your design.
For the summary I would emphasize again that it is very handy for practical applications but dose not give considerable theoretical base. It is more than worth the money.

I am using this book since 1992 and have increased my senses of Color combinations and their applications every where I desire. Mainly I am using for designing beautiful motifs for Ladies printed garments. As well as I have used it for designing the reports for my submissions in the textile institute. Well done Hideaki Chijiiwa.

Choosing colors is fun, but there's more to choosing an effective color scheme than simply picking the colors that appeal to you, just as there's more to being a connoisseur of fine art than "knowing what you like."
