  Providing a thorough grounding in colour theory, this book offers expert advice about putting the principles into practice. Beginning with an account of colour fundamentals and a history of colour theory, the author then explores in depth the four dimensions of colour and their application to compositions in various media. The final part of Colour , expanded in this new edition, focuses on the psychological, symbolic and cultural aspects of colour. The revision also includes 35 new images and new appendices comprising a chronological list of colour theorists, colour symbols in religion and historical colour palettes. It now includes illustrations covering fashion and interior design along with 100 works by both well-known artists and students. This book will serve as an invaluable resource for painters, photographers, interior designers and craftspeople - indeed all students of the arts.
