AlbakiReads Editorial

A searchable reference for building color palettes

Naomi Kuno’s reference organizes 125 palettes around the images and associations commonly linked with each scheme. Across the book, nearly 1,100 individual colors are identified with CMYK and RGB values, while 2,500 examples show combinations of two to five colors. Explanations of each palette’s colors, notes on points to consider, and descriptive phrase lists add material for presenting color choices—not just selecting them. A 15-category keyword index, spanning subjects such as plants, food, art, science, and everyday goods, provides another route into the collection. The book’s structure makes it a practical source of both ready-made combinations and component colors to consult when assembling a palette.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Designers and artists seeking a broad palette reference with specified CMYK and RGB values.
  • People preparing presentations who want descriptions and notes to accompany color choices.
  • Anyone who prefers browsing color combinations by subject keywords.

Book overview

Practical Color Combinations introduces 125 color palettes that have each been created using approximately ten different individual colors.
These color palettes are categorized by images usually associated with each color scheme. Nearly 1,100 individual colors are introduced in this book and the CMYK and RGB values of each color used are specified. A total of 2,500 unique color combination samples are offered by presenting two-, three-, four-, and five-color combinations.
Each color palette featured is accompanied by a clear explanation of the meaning of each color used, important points about the colors, and even a list of useful phrases describing each color to help with presentations.
Practical Color Combinations also includes a keyword index of 15 categories--including flowers, trees, animals, insects, fish, cooking, drinks, jewelry, minerals, clothes, traditions, art, music, myths/legends, science and nature, daily necessities, general goods, trends, sports, etc., which enables convenient searching for ready-to-use colors and color combinations.
