One of the few books that explains Alber’s color theories clearly.

[Erika Mulvenna · Rating 3 out of 5]

A really practical guide for artists on understanding color. Contains a quick but precise intro on the history of Color Theory, lots of color exercises for the student taken directly from sources such as Itten and Albers, and chapters relating to computers, and directly to art. A really great book for anyone interested in exploring Color Theory more in depth through hands-on color exercises.
