A visual analysis ofthe colors used infurnishing fabrics andwallpapers from thefifteenth century totoday, this book providesinspiration, and practicalreference, for designers. Interior decorators have long used specific colors and palettes to evoke strong moods--the right mix of browns, greens, and oranges can easily bring you back into the 1970s. Here, in this highly original and digestible book, color palettes from the fifteenth century onward are analyzed and explained by interior design specialist Ros Byam Shaw. The colors used in each wallpaper and fabric are presented in proportional grids, giving a clear understanding of the hues that have become emblematic of their era. Each wallpaper and fabric, carefully selected by Here Design from the V&A's collection, is arranged chronologically with its own double-page spread with extended captions that explain the significance of the palette. A color grid is shown beside each pattern, in which the colors in the original piece are shown in proportion to their use, and with their CMYK references to enable designers to replicate these colors in their own work. The result is a book that offers fascinating insights into color that will be of interest and use to designers working today, whether specialists in interiors, products, or graphics. It will also appeal to a more general audience as a beautifully designed book that offers inspiration to those interested in interior design. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I really like the way the colours have been itemised using a proportional grid with the background colours at the top - mostly I guess because those are the ones used in the largest amount.
Because everything in this volume is from the collections of the V & A, you can then use the Museum number and search on the website for more information. This information can be downloaded. The colour charts are not on the V & A website.
I would have liked to read more descriptions in terms of colour names - burnt siena, rose madder or vermilion. However the prescriptions for each of the colours using the CMYK system is meant to cover that.
A major disadvantage of this volume is that there is no index, so that it is impossible to locate the William Morris fabrics or those from Japan. A more minor quibble is that the cover spells colour as color whereas inside the volume it is spelled colour. Unbelievable in a book published by the V & A! ( )
