Artists and designers of all stripes, marketers, manufacturers, and even a customer trying to figure out if a brown armchair in a room will match a brown sofa all want to understand color and tame it, because color is a beast. Ariel and Joanne Extooth, authors of What is Color?, offer a curious and highly descriptive exploration of the science of color. Organized into the 50 most important questions about color from various fields—physics, chemistry, biology, technology, and psychology—this book explores:

How and why do we see color?

How does color relate to light?

- What are the primary colors?

- what is a shade;

- What is a color wheel?

What is trichromacy and metamerism?

- how biology, language and culture affect colors;

- how we see color and much more.

We hope this book will help you begin to understand what color is, how to work with it, and how to appreciate its beauty and complexity. Even if you're just a color lover who enjoys the spectacle of autumn foliage, the visual world becomes full of wonders and much more interesting when you have science behind you. The book is intended for artists and designers, scientists, students and decorators, as well as for everyone else whose work is related to color.
