Generally A Good Textbook,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Contemporary Color (Design Concepts) (Paperback)
This book, like many textbooks on the subject, is slightly biased and some information is based on scientific theories about the human body and psyche, and are not explained as such. Although, this book makes it much more enjoyable to read about color theory on the whole! Information is presented in an easy-to-read and easy to comprehend manner.

Commentary on Contemporary Color,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Contemporary Color (Design Concepts) (Paperback)
I found this to be an ecellent book on the subject of color and it's relationship to the art, graphic, and design world.
I would have loved to have taken the course which uses this book as their study guide art the Art Institute of Tampa, but they only deal with Degree seeking students. You will find it very relative to the use of color in the Art, Graphic, and Design areas, especailly in the practical use of color in the real world.
