An ode to color, its richness and diversity, The Dictionary of Color is at once a chromatic manual, a work of inspiration and a reference book.
Color is an essential component of any visual creation. Serving readability and visibility, it is also rich in symbolic meaning and emotional implications. It's no coincidence that the choice of color crystallizes so much debate and sometimes tension within the creative process.
This guide divides colors into four categories: warm, cool, neutral, and special. Each of the major hues in this category is presented through its history, meanings, and various nuances.
A gallery of creations that brilliantly use this color in fields as diverse as fashion, graphics, painting, packaging, product design, etc., serves as a source of inspiration for the reader. Finally, harmonious palettes present possible interactions with other colors.
Sean Adams is a founder of the award-winning California-based design firm AdamsMorioka and is one of the forty most influential figures shaping graphic design worldwide. A former national president of AIGA, he is now the director of the graphic design program at ArtCenter College of Design. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
Chromatic manual, inspirational work and reference book
-> A title that appeals to all types of creators
-> A classification by color, logical and practical
-> A rich iconography from fashion, art, graphics, etc.
