CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 2 reviews)

excellent  
I am impressed by how much the authors are able to communicate the delights and pleasures of color at the same time as being extremely thorough in explaining terms, concepts, and the relative merits of historical systems. I've never before seen a book that did this. I appreciated their inclusiveness in citing examples from so many fields (painting, photography, sculpture, pop culture, design, fashion and more), and the very specific descriptions that they use to help the reader understand what they are talking about..

Simply the best  
This is the best book on the subject I've found. I use it all of the time. Should be a required text for all painting classes.
