Great tool for beginners
Great book for beginners like myself. Really breaks down the different terms and theory but in an understandable way. Great series and will be purchasing another from the series

A super non-complicated guide to colour theory.
An informative easy to digest guide to the principles of colour theory. The flow of the book is practical and eases the reader through its contents. There are many examples of artist’s works which are accompanied with text that explains their choices and rules applied. The book is only 64 pages in total so does not go in to wordy complicated jargon about colour theory. It doesn’t get caught up in the science…which is perfect for me and there is plenty to get you thinking and considering the importance of colour in your art, which ever discipline you work in. This book is a handy size and the quality of print is great. I have read through a few times now and I am now considering my colour choices and the the reasons why. This is a super introduction to colour theory, a perfect addition to anyone’s artistic tool/kit. A book I will definitely refer to time and time again!

Very basic but interesting
It’s probably suited best for beginners. Good overview of the basics of colour theory with practical exercises. The book is rather small, looks more like a booklet.

Bom livro
O livro aborda os pontos principais da teoria das cores, porém é bem sucinto. Contudo, apesar disso, ele incentiva o leitor a explorar as cores, suas misturas e as possíveis aplicações. Muito bom para iniciantes.
