Synopsis
This book provides a relatively simple but technically correct introduction to the principles and concepts of color: the nature of light, color perception, and the measurement of color. It bridges the gap between technically and non–technically oriented aspects of the subject using a comprehensive, yet non–mathematical, approach.

From the Back Cover
At last, here is a scientifically correct introduction to the fundamentals of color, without mathematics or heavy jargon.

You will find:
- Solid explanations of key technical concepts concerning light, human vision, and color perception
- Broad coverage of color order systems and color measurement NCS, Munsell, OSA–UCS, Colorcurve, CIE systems, and more
- A straightforward examination of color reproduction technologies and techniques, color fidelity, colorant formulation, and other issues
- A concise historical review of the development of color and color theory in art, including harmony of color
- A carefully selected combination of color plates, figures, and diagrams, plus an extensive glossary of specialized terms
Well organized and clearly written, Color is the ideal basic resource for color technologists, artists, designers, students, and general readers.
