The science of color may not seem useful until you realize how much color affects our daily lives through mood control, consumerism psychology, and art. “Color Keying in Art and Living” explains through scientific terms and machinery how color relationships and coordination are applied to art, hair styling, eyes, complexion, dress and home decoration. It begins with an explanation of light primaries and pigment primaries and how different color and light mixtures form secondary colors. This explanation leads to color keying or the art of placing complementary colors in proximity to one another to create flattering or dramatic effects. A wonderful look at how science paves the way for commerce and the arts.

What is found in the hills and bright blue sky, in the fields of ripened grain and the unexpected places of bright surprises? It is color, the harp string of beauty, the keyboard of mood. “Color Harmony for Your Home,” begins with a comparison of how all the beautiful color that makes a house a home comes from the beauty of nature. From there it takes a look at picking the perfect color patterns for the décor of the home by the simple use of the colorizer wheel. Choosing the perfect paint to match often ridiculous looking 1950s furniture has never been simpler – simply match the furniture to color wheel and voila! Color has never been more prosaic and adored.
