Description

Explore a fresh and innovative approach to colour study with The Language of Colour: An introduction by Routledge. Written by Theo van Leeuwen, co-author of the best-selling textbook Reading Images, this book moves beyond the meanings of single colours to examine how various features shape our perception. Van Leeuwen develops a theory focused on the idea that colour schemes are more important than individual colours. This text provides a deep look into how we attach meaning to the colours we see. Readers can study a brief history of colour meanings, the relationship between language and colour names within cultural contexts, and the specific ways corporations use colour. It is an essential resource for those studying graphic arts and the technical use of colour.
