Acknowledgements

A color that I had only vaguely thought of through feeling,
Now with the world's leading color design authority
Learn step by step, from the basics to the application!

This book covers all the concepts and knowledge necessary to interpret and utilize color in 100 rules.
Rather than delving into the 100 keywords of color design and color theory, this book is designed to allow readers to quickly understand and glimpse their potential. Its fusion approach of science, art, and design provides readers with ideas and stimulates their curiosity.
It covers everything from basic knowledge such as color properties, additive and subtractive mixing, and simultaneous contrast to practical topics such as brand color, color management, and white balance.
Is it possible to find accurate information about such matters online? Sure, you could find it somehow, but it would take a considerable amount of time.
Once you're familiar with the basic concepts, you'll feel the need to research further, explore more deeply, and figure out how to utilize them.
The 100 rules in this book serve as just such a key.

A must-know for art and design majors
All the concepts of color theory in one book! One day, one color!
Includes over 100 full-color images to add to the fun of flipping through.

No one would dispute that having a sense of color and the knowledge to use it are among the most important requirements for becoming a skilled artist or designer.
However, surprisingly, there are not many people who have studied color theory systematically, even among experts.
Even if you graduate from art school, there are many people who handle colors based solely on feeling.
This book is aimed at everyone, from college students majoring in related fields to professionals with extensive experience, and guides readers through the world of color, which is much more profound than they realize, from beginning to end, like a vivid lecture.
To achieve this, this book is designed to teach you one law a day.
Each law consists of two pages.
The left pages contain brief definitions and explanations of the concepts, along with guidance and guidelines for their application, while the right pages contain large, rich visual examples to aid in understanding the principles.
The rules are arranged alphabetically for easy reference, and for readers seeking to solve specific tasks or applications, a path-by-path index is also provided, categorized by nine color-coded topics, including science, art, design, and industry.

In graphic design and branding, as well as in medical facilities, product packaging, and software user interfaces, the colors we see can enhance appeal, influence recognition, and improve usability.
Such colors are exposed and interpreted based on scientific principles, and applied to objects by designers who have a good understanding of such principles.
In this book, readers will gain insights for better color decisions through the author's friendly explanations and examples.
Rooted in the popular Color Theory course at the prestigious University of Leeds, this world-renowned reference book will become the standard for designers, engineers, architects, and students seeking to further their understanding and expertise in color.
