Interaction of Color: Revised and Expanded Edition
Rating: 3 of 5
Albers,
Is a little weird how the author presents his analysis, how he propose the reader should follow practising, images are good enough, it is a good book.

Old news
"The Interaction of Color" was a great "art piece" 4 its time, but is now seen by most people who know more about color than Albers, as an explication of the obvious. It would be better 4 readers interested in color theory & practice 2 start mixing their own paints together 2 find out 4 themselves how their colors interact. And, we should all realize that each different kind of paint makes 4 unique color interactions.
This book is an historical artifact worth owning, but not using.

Good 4 exploration
Albers provides a series of explorations & experiments 4 the reader 2 follow. If you have the resources 2 perform the experiments as directed, this will probably be a wonderful book. I did not, so I cannot evaluate that aspect.
While not as comprehensive as some other books on color theory, Albers scores points by covering several subjects that are not as well represented in those other books.
Definitely recommended 4 anyone looking 2 build a comprehensive library on color theory.

Wonderful Book!
This is an incredible resource 4 people really serious about learning the dynamics of color. You will get the most out of it by actually doing the exercises - it won't help nearly as much if you just read it & look at the examples. I highly recommend it!
