This book's value, for me, lies mainly in the pages towards the back of the book that show different color combinations along with the corresponding pantone numbers. The book is full of interesting ideas for color combinations. There is also an introduction to color theory and color psychology. This is not heavy reading and it doesn't go into much detail, but the book delivers the basics in a clear and staightforward way. This would be an especially good book for people who haven't yet developed their color sense enough to feel confident in their color choices. Yet, it has a lot to offer even the professional designer. I think it is well worth its cover price.
When looking for pleasing color combinations for Art projects this book is the best resource.

I like this book because it helps me with my design projects whenever I'm stumped on color. I disliked the typo in the book on tertiary colors. I decided to buy it as a guide for my design projects. I already have an eye for color, but it sometimes helps me go a step further on my projects.
This is a good book for anyone who is interested in art or design. I am a Graphic Designer and this book has helped me a lot along my journey. I has a great Pantone color index, color combos, and how different colors affect the senses.
