Ashim Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi, Can anyone suggest a great book/website to learn about colors and their psychological and emotional impact. There is a great book, An Introduction to Color, though it is unavailable. I am just so keen on colors because I feel that the lighting just wont work if the colors arent right.... Any tips or suggestions regarding the same are most welcome. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Hal Smith Posted October 13, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted October 13, 2006 Can anyone suggest a great book/website to learn about colors and their psychological and emotional impact. You might have a look at the following link for some information on esthetic uses of color: http://www.rosco.com/includes/technotes/fi...lor_Filters.pdf It's directed towards a theatrical lighting designer audience, not film/video work, but it's still useful and highly informative.

Dominic Jones Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I haven't found any decent info on the web, despite a good few in-depth searches, but if you don't mind spending a few bucks (well, probably *quite* a few bucks, as these are all rather expensive!) then: The "standard text" on the issue is "Colour and Human Response" by Faber Birren (ISBN: 0-471-28864-0) You might also want to check out "Theory of Colours" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (old school but very interesting) and, of course, any books by Him - Vittorio Storaro (I think part 2 of "Writing with Light" is Colour)....

I haven't read it, but I've been meaning to -- let me know if it's any good. http://www.amazon.com/Purple-Someones-Gonn...g/dp/0240806883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
