Interesante agrupación de colores y valoro mucho el esfuerzo puesto en las palabras relacionadas y las descripciones de color, aunque, claramente, por la dificultad de la tarea, muchas de ellas son inexactas.

Me parece una excelente referencia para buscar inspiración cuando la necesite. También confirmé que he cambiado: antes decía que mi color favorito era el rojo y, de verdad, me sigue atrayendo mucho. Ahora mi mente siempre se siente completamente atrapada por colores como el Rusia o de esa familia, azules verdosos profundos y oscuros.

This book is an encyclopedia of the colors of our world. I've never seen colors related to historical figures or places or daily life. I know I'll return to this book again and again for ideas and inspiration when making art quilts.
