Practical Color Combinations: A Resource Book with Over 2500 Sample Color Schemes

Quick and easy resource for color palettes that features information on the colors themselves (including corresponding RGB and CMYK codes) and provides examples of the palettes in use.

Great book on color selection. It helped me tremdously to narrow my color choices and create color themes in my coloring books

This book is extremely helpful for adult coloring hobbyists. The color combinations are beautiful and the simple explanations helped me understand why different colors go well together. I see my coloring pencil collection differently and have been able to make the most of it along with my coloring books in a way I was not able to before.

I think this book is going to be very helpful for projects. I'm not sure I like the way she laid it out. I might have laid it out more in a color wheel way. However I think once I start using it I'll get accustomed to her layout. If you're looking for a small book that's easy to put on a shelf somewhere instead of some of those big huge boxes that some people have this is really nice. Good quality pictures good quality paper highly recommend

This book is great! I'm so glad I found it. I use it for picking colors for my adult coloring books. It's really thick, has a lot of combos, and is really well put together. Each pallete consists of 9 different colors, with color names , and even descriptions of the colors, then from those 9 colors, five different combos are illustrated in 5 different ways. In 2,3, 4, and 5-color combos. It's genius! So presumably, all 9 colors "go together " and you pick which/how many to use together. So you feel like you're one the one doing the picking, but the choices are really narrowed down for you. I tend to get a little mind-boggled by all the choices sometimes.😵‍💫 Great job with this book!

Nice little book to help you decide what color harmony you want in your next artwork.

Best book I could have purchased for color palettes! Not only does it do exactly what I wanted (provide me with color schemes galore), it does so in a very user-friendly manner that provides me with so much inspiration for the project at hand. My coloring pages have never looked so good and the improvement is 100% due to this gorgeous little book. It is the definitive encyclopedia of color palettes and I feel so incredibly lucky to have this little gem on my coloring desk.

The book does present color combinations based of photographs. It is not based on the color wheel. The color groups consist of a whopping 10 colors. They are based on photos. One of the photos is of a gumball machine. The color palette presented is all the random colors of the gumballs. So it is basically a "palette" of 10 primary colors. This palette is not useful. Other photos are of random things in random settings which give me random colors all grouped together. There are a few pages in the back that discuss color theory and definition of color terms. There are a few pages that talk about cultural color groups that is a bit interesting. Otherwise, I am not sure I can apply this book to my artwork. The color palettes presented are not cohesive enough. I could do the same thing by taking colored cards and tossing them in the air, then picking up 10 of them off the floor.
