Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-05 00:00:00 John Acquesta Jr. I loved this book, and referenced it often in college. It's wonderful for those interested in color theory. It's very comprehensive.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-27 00:00:00 Ronald Maxwell Painters would benefit quite a lot from this book, as it discusses the mixing method of colours and all examples are paintings. Nevertheless, designers can also enjoy the book as they are introduced to various colour concepts. "While the book can simply be read as a general guide to color, its value will be most fully realized by those who take the time to do the color assignments. They were developed and tested over a 12-year period at the Rhode Island School of Design with graphic designers, painters, textile designers, illustrators, and weavers" So if you have time, work on any assignment that you feel interested, I personally like the guessing colour and colour inventory exercises. And knowledge about Light should be a prerequisite before one starts learning about Color. Some AP Physics videos I watched prior to reading this books are: Light Light Absorption, Reflection, and Transmission Refraction of Light
