The Color Index, Nov 23 2010

This review is from: Color Index (Paperback)
Color Index Revised Edition by Jim Krause is a great little book to give someone ideas on what color combinations work. It has thousands of different color combos that can be used just for about anything. This book doesn't have a lot of meat in terms of how his graphic design book is written, but this book wasn't meant for that. It's meant to be a reference.If you need help picking color pallets, pick this book up. Just understand that this book is meant to just be a reference guide.

A Great Tool for Any Artist!, Aug 15 2011

This review is from: Color Index (Paperback)
This book was referred to me by a colleague. The first surprise was that the book is only 5" x 6". But on the same hand--it's nice that the book can be out and not take over my entire desk. So, the color samples are small but good enough and plenty. The addition of pattern and graphic samples within the color scheme are awesome and would help even the most imaginative minded artist. These are spelled out in RGB and CMYK.Overall, this book will help me make color decisions quicker and push me to choose outside the box.

perfect for building consensus, Mar 5 2012

This review is from: Color Index (Paperback)
As a marketer for a nonprofit, I purchased this book to help build consensus with our new logo and identity pieces. Staff was able to look through the book, see many variations, and determine what color schemes they liked. It was easy for me to explain the idea of an ancillary color palette. It was also extremely helpful in buidling my branding and identity manual. Well worth the money.
