Foundations of Color by Jeff Davis provides a straightforward
examination of the major topics of color theory. Written in a clear
and concise style, this textbook presents the basic concepts of
color in a logical order, with each chapter building on the next.
The book employs a highly visual design with numerous diagrams that
elegantly illustrate each color principle. The diagrams are paired
with relevant examples of contemporary art that connect theory to
application. Foundations of Color has been written to be accessible
by anyone with an interest in art or design. The efficient,
practical approach provides useful guidance for beginning students
and practicing professionals alike. Bridging traditional color
theory with modern and digital applications, this book is
appropriate for any creative field, including fine art, graphic
design, interior design, fashion, photography, and web design.
Foundations of Color is an essential addition to any art and design
library. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 - Color provides an
introduction to the phenomenon of color, the physics of light, and
color vision. Chapter 2 - Hue examines the defining property of hue
and explores the idea of color temperature through warm and cool
hues. Chapter 3 - Value examines the defining property of value and
explores the use of a value scale for measuring normal value.
Chapter 4 - Saturation examines the defining property of
saturation, from chromatic to neutral to achromatic colors. It also
discusses the color variations of tints, tones, and shades. Chapter
5 - Color Systems outlines systems for organizing color, from
traditional paint to contemporary additive and subtractive systems.
Primary, secondary, and tertiary hues are identified and organized
into a color wheel for each color system. Chapter 6 - Color Schemes
explores methods for developing color schemes, including
monochromatic, analogous, and complementary relationships.
Additional combinations focusing on hue, value, and saturation are
examined for achieving color harmony. Chapter 7 - Color Interaction
explores the interaction of color and effects such as afterimage,
simultaneous contrast, optical mixing, and vibration. Chapter 8 -
Color Composition concludes by reviewing the compositional effects
of color. Topics include color's impact on emphasis, balance,
space, and unity.
