Great book about color. It is true that it is outdated by now, but you can use many ideas from this book. If you are smart you can even translate and substitute film in Kelvin for white balance settings on your camera ;)
Some concepts are quite simple, but you might have never thought about it before. As an example - you have to shoot differently for various markets, as some like photos saturated (commercials), others would prefer pastels (calendars, postcards).
It was an eye opener for me. Even though I photograph for half of my life - I learned a lot.

Pretty dated, unless you shoot with film.
