Colour Theories

conceptionGD · 11-28-2011, 09:45 AM

Hi All

I am looking for an indepth well explained book about colour theories in design.

I say indepth as the basics are simple. Red = danger passion, green - nature money so on so on

I want a book that will completely break colours apart and give step by step meanings on this.

Wondered if any of you could recommend one to me?

Cheers
Saz

Hi! I have this book saved on my amazon wishlist for a long time that I haven't had the chance to buy it yet. I'm not sure if it's any good, but there are many reviews saying it is (there's also a preview of it).

Edit: the basics is written in there if you look at the preview and then it gets in depth (seems like a good book)

Have you search online at all? You will be able to find more information on the web than in a book.
