The Designer's Toolkit

"Colour is fundamental to all design. It can be used to evoke moods, grab attention, identify products, or organise information. The appearance of a colour is always affected by adjacent colours, so choosing combinations that work is essential to attain the desired effect. 2000 Colour Palette Swatches is an invaluable tool for designers, architects, decorators and anyone involved in selecting, applying and specifying colour. The book and its accompanying CD are structured to enable designers to easily find combinations that work for a particular project. The CMYK values of each colour are printed alongside each palette for quick reference. Each palette appears on the CD so that it can quickly be imported into your favourite graphics program, and even re-used or converted to other colour measuring or describing systems." -- publisher's website.
