Hands down the best textbook,

This review is from: Color Workbook (Paperback)
I'm currently a Color Theory student at Savannah College of Art & Design, and was required to pick this exspenive book (not even hardcovered), but I didn't mind. This book has turned out to be the most interesting and fascinating piece of material I've read in my life. It deeply explores both the additive (RGB), subtractive pigment (RBY), and subtractive process (CMY) theories without coming off dry at all... written very much for the average person. Even moreso, the big plus is that it sets aside an ample space for discussing the additive theory in regard to computer apps such as Photoshop and Illustrator, great for me, since I'm a Visual Effects major.
Yes, it's a tad exspensive, however you will not be dissapointed!

This review is from: Color Workbook (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I teach color theory, and this is the book I recommend to my students. I've tried some of the others, and none compare. It includes everything you need to understand color, whether you are a painter or designer, and it's clearly written and well organized with good visual examples. I'm still using this second edition-- I've looked at the third edition and don't see much difference. Get the 2nd edition used (I paid $8 for it here) and save yourself about $70.
