Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Color (and a few things you didn't).


I found this great old Art Teacher's Handbook from the 1920's at my local Senior Citizen Center Thrift Store. These pages are from the section of the book dealing with color. It gets pretty technical (I learned a few things). Click on each image to view full size. From Applied Art by Pedro J. Lemos (1920).

    that's neat! the second chart would actually be extremely useful to someone like me wanting to use kool-aid to dye yarn a tertiary or quaternary color (and now i know the terms for the colors i prefer).
