Objective

Color Cook Book places practice before theory. We encourage you to experiment with new color "recipes" and learn from experience the ways that colors behave in front of our eyes, how colors interact with each other and how you can use color effectively and meaningfully in the making of your "recipes". Below are some essential readings on both old and new color theories to relate your own "cooking" to artists and theorists of the past and present. Our objective is through practice to deepen your understanding of color in life and science!
