"The aim of the writer in this work has been to treat the subject of colour, both in its physical and artistic aspects, and also to show the connection, as well as some of the distinctions, between the scientific theory of the spectral colours of light, and the artistic practice of colour harmony and contrast. The book may also be described as the result of an attempt to provide a practical colour manual for the use of art students, decorators, and designers, and for those who may be engaged in any occupation where a knowledge of colour is essential"--From preface.
