This is the best, most informative book on color I've read to date. Includes chapters on subjects from human color perception to the history of color theory and the psychological effects of color. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in learning more about using color when creating. It's a shame that this book is so incredibly expensive, the cost makes it difficult to read.

Informative and practical!
This is a cool book with a lot of colorful images. A great book to refer for editors, designers and photographers for composition.
