Reader Reviews
I love colors... probably too much... but I always seem to pick the same color palette when I'm designing things, and can't seem to stray to far from them, so I needed this book. It's fantastic. It shows color palettes that have been put to work in real-world settings. It also has nice explanations on color theories and the meanings of colors. The book is well organized and detailed-- I haven't found an AdamsMorioka book that I didn't like. Great job! PS I got my book from an amazon subsidiary-- it was a used book from warehouse_deals for a smashing $17.08 + nominal shipping. You'd never guess that this book had ever been used. I ordered two other books from warehouse_deals, too... if you can snag a book from them at such a great price, you won't regret it. Their shipping is as quick as amazon's standard shipping. :)
