The Little Book of Colour: How to Use the Psychology of Colour to Transform Your Life

This book is so well written and very informative. You’ll learn a-lot about the world and it’s relationship to color. The author is very knowledgeable herself and page after page is chock full of information that you may not have known or may be expanded to include some fascinating ideas. It really helps you understand how we see, interpret and are affected by color. I whole heartedly advise anyone that is interest in reading the world around you, understanding yourself and learning to use color for your non verbal communication style , to do just that. This is book is a goldmine to me, very special and I’m so glad I found it.

Excellent book requested by my sister She’s enjoying the book very much

I throughly enjoyed this book’s explanation on how humans perceive color. It provided meaningful information and acts as an effective resource. However, I do believe that this book should elaborate further on human nature in general and how it correlates with each specific color.

If there is one book on colour you want to read, it’s this one.

As an interior designer, i have to stay on top of the game and always get better. The little book of colour is a great tool- easy to read and understand for all who give colour advice.

A cute short book with nice colors, explaining the psychological effect they have.

This book may be helpful in providing suggestions for how to pair one color with another, and the author is clearly enthusiastic about color. But the book presents misleading and wrong statements about color perception to endorse the author’s preferences. If you get upset when people do not know or understand the science, and use it to sell a message, this book will drive you crazy. For example the author asserts that the Himba have different color perception abilities than Westerners. No source is provided. The only source I know of, is a discredited (fabricated) documentary, since retracted by the BBC. The author also asserts that color perception is different between men and women. She says “research has shown that women and men do indeed see color differently and that while men are good at seeing fast moving shapes from a distance women are better at distinguishing subtle gradations of color close up”. There is no evidence cited. And I do not know of any. To the contrary, all research I know of shows that perceptual abilities of males and females are indistinguishable. The only sex differences that are clear are that females on average have more color words and are more likely to report color. I tried to engage the author to discuss but no reply. Do not buy this book is you want to learn facts about color psychology or color perception. And be aware that the preferences the author advances as hard wired and based in science are not. In fact research shows that color preferences are highly fungible. Boys in the 19th century in the West liked pink.

the book aproches some of the main methods on color psicology with explanations and examples. is easy to read and you can use it as an every day consultation guide to undertand color and behavior.

Tyckte om boken. Bra bok med bra innehåll

Sometimes, nothing beats a good old paper book. This one does not disappoint! It's unique format, being small but with a hardcover and beautiful glossy colour pages, makes it irresistible. I can't help but holding it and reading bits of it every time I see it on my table. The author definitely put as much thought in the content as the design. Speaking of content, it is really interesting. It is full of fascinating facts about the history of colour psychology, as well as many applications of it in the way we dress, decorate our homes, and react to colours, as well as why that is. If you are interested in colour and its impact on us, this is a must read!
