An awesome book

I found this book an excellent visual guide to color on the printed page. Search Google on "Jean Bourges" and look for the "Bourges Color Wheel" to get a sense of the depth this book offers. Chapter 3 opened my eyes to the power of adding black in 10% increments. This book is a CMYK labor of love.

THATS MY GRANDMA

People obviously dont know their stuff because Jean Bourges is an amazing woman who knows a lot more about color then most people ever will. oh and SHE'S MY GRANDMOTHER!

You'll want to keep this book handy!

This is a wonderfully interesting, easy to read book that is educational, informative and an invaluable reference. I am a graphic designer, and I keep "Color Bytes" close by my computer so I can refer to it often. I especially enjoyed learning more about the psychological effects of color use, and their applications in advertising and design. I heartily recommend this book!

An outstanding Color Reference.

This is one of the most wonderful color references I've ever found. It is so easy to read, yet packed full of information and history. I can't wait for Ms. Bourges next book!
