The Color Chart
This book answers many vexing questions that come up unexpectedly every day—the little technical puzzlers that harass and hinder you most. It contains a wealth of information written in understandable form for the novice as well as the experienced user of colors.
The Color Chart alone is well worth the price of this entire book. It consists of three sections which tell how to select warm and cool colors, mix colors to get any tint or shade, harmonize colors and avoid color discord. Twenty-five individual colors appear in the chart, all applied by hand with lacquer to a cloth backed sheet that cannot be easily damaged. Mounted on it are the pivoted triangle and the arrow, both white celluloid, by the use of which color mixing, matching and harmonizing are simplified.
