Can anyone recommend a book on

Color theory? I found this book in an article. Anyone know if it’s good or bad?

I can’t vouch for that one personally, but if you really want to bake your noodle over color theory, here’s a good one:

also, a couple places to look at on this website:

Interaction of Colour by Josef Albers is pretty good in my opinion.

That looks like a good one. Thanks!

Best opening choice, The book covers color psychology history, color’s impact on perception and behavior, and color therapy. Birren contains several case stories showing how color has treated various ailments.
