2000 Colour Combinations

2000 Colour Combinations is an inspiring reference book for designers, artists and creative makers who work with colour. Packed with a huge range of combinations, it shows how colours can strengthen each other, create contrast or sit together in harmony.

With detailed CMYK and RGB information, it is useful for both print and digital work. The book also explores colour theory, including hue, value and chroma, as well as ideas such as simultaneous contrast and perceived transparency.

You will also find colour palettes inspired by everyday photographs, landscapes and urban scenes, plus work from contemporary designers and artists that offers fresh ideas for using colour in practice. The examples range from two-colour and three-colour graphics to stripe studies and more complex compositions.

2000 Colour Combinations is a versatile guide for anyone developing colour ideas with confidence, whether you work in graphic design, textile design or other creative projects. If you are planning fabric by the metre, cotton fabric or other dressmaking fabric, it can help you build cohesive colour schemes and discover new combinations.
