Dictionary Of Color Combinations Volume 2

Great pocket size book for artists, fashion designers, interior decorators, house painters, architects, anyone working with colors.

Volume 2 continues the great color combinations of the 1st Volume, but the combinations are more complex, with more colors. There's even a section of art in the form of paintings, prints, woven work, etc. that you see on one page while on the opposite page is the breakdown of the colorations in bars with no image. What this does is show how the art works, and then how the combinations also work. Also more of the simplified 2 and 3 combinations that I think I prefer as more minimal. Again, these are ranged from light and airy to darkly saturated -and all curiously satisfying and worth study and trying them out. On the computer it's possible to match any tone or hue, so there's a path that only requires finding the right starting color then paying attention to the combination. Not that it's an end-all, but a beginning. Any of those can be shifted or modified with ease but it depends on how they fit a real-time application and not a formula. But the horizons have already been expanded so there's more, and even more.

This works perfect to help create outfits that are perfectly coordinated! I grab one thing I really want to wear, find that color in the book, and then match everything else to the other colors. My daughter also uses it for paintings and art projects.

Loved this color combo book! The book includes a wide array of color combinations, plus history on the artist, which I appreciate!

It's exactly what I expected. I gives various color pallets that are fairly common in Japanese are & culture.

The extra paper cover is very frustrating to hold so I took it off entirely, the pages themselves are rather thin considering the whole book is about color. In the attached image, you can see the outline of the graphics on the next page. This is really only a problem for the lighter colors. The papers are bound a little too tight, so many images crest into the binding, I'm holding the page open pretty hard. The book is interesting and a good guide if you're designing just about anything. I enjoyed the little biography at the beginning and the CMYK color codes at the end if you want to use any of the colors seen in the book. Additionally this listing is definitely overpriced. If you switch over to Amazon Japan, and are ok waiting some extra time, you can get the book almost at half the price listed here. Pretty disappointed to find that out after scanning the qr code in the book.

Very quick shipping, thank you!

I bought this for my friend since she has really been into sewing and dressing up in bolder outfit. When she saw the book, she told me she has been eyeing this and was really interested in the different color combinations. It is a small but unique book with so many different patterns and color combinations that can inspire people's lives with how they dress or decorate their living area.

Maravilhoso

Sorunsuz şekilde teslim edildi ilk kitabı istediğim halde o teslim edilemedi

Wie auch den ersten Band dieser Reihe finde ich dieses Buch super! Für Künstler und Illustratoren prima geeignet.

Tengo el vol. 1 y me encanta. Para regalárselo a una amiga, compré vol. 1 y vol. 2, aunque respecto a este último no tengo claro que sea necesario comprarlo, no lo veo tan diferente del 1. Aún asi, son muy bonitos y creo que habré acertado con el regalo. No compraria el 2 para mí, con el 1 me llega.

Ce livre est une merveille absolue pour tout graphiste, photographe, tout secteur qui touche à l’image .. ce livre est incontournable. Allez y choper le !
