Description
Colours are an essential part of our lives. They guide and warn at traffic lights, they tempt and attract around a deliberately and pleasantly lighted dinner table and they protect and cover in the camouflage suits of soldiers and hunters. Colours affect pleasantness, mood and even health. For all these reasons knowledge of colour theory is important to everybody who is planning and producing their own colour schemes. How do we experience colours? What factors affect their discernibility? What colour systems are there and how can they be applied?
Colour World is a comprehensive textbook presenting both colour theories and their practical applications. Colour psychology and symbolism are also discussed, together with the effect of style and fashion on colour choices. There is also a chapter on computerized colour composition. Colour World is suitable for private study and as a textbook in schools, universities and other institutions of higher education. The detailed and thorough index also makes it a reference book of the colour field.
Seppo Rihlama has devoted a lifetime to the study of colour theory. His profound knowledge has gained him recognition and admiration for his expertise; especially among his professional colleagues. This was one of the reasons why the IACC-International Association of Colour Consultants/Designers asked him to be a member of their executive committee, and represent Finland as an IACC Vice-President. His book is a must for anyone whose profession demands an understanding of colour.
