"Textile artists have long been frustrated by the special problems in achieving color harmony. There are many color theories -- additive, subtractive, optical -- but none explains how colors are to be mixed when the medium is fiber, This book answers all the artist's questions. Faber Birren describes different types of color combinations, such as tints, tones, brights, and shades, and illustrates each type with a plethora of examples to satisfy any personal taste. Principles of color harmony developed throughout history are explained and illustrated by the work of noted artists. Bibliography and index are provided for further reading and easy reference."
