Palette Perfect: Color Combinations Inspired by Fashion, Art and Style

Aimed to fashion students and designers, Palette Perfect is both a practical guide and an inspirational book that proposes a reflection on the universe of colour combinations, the moods and atmospheres they evoke and how we associate particular places and emotions with special colours. Each chapter explores a particular mood and describes the corresponding feelings and colour combinations, using as examples exquisite photographs of objects, still lives, landscapes, interiors and fashion. At the end of each chapter, a wide variety of palettes representing the chapter's particular mood or atmosphere is included.

Palette Perfect features hundreds of beautiful, suggestive photographs and illustrations, structured according to 15 different atmospheres and fragmented into colour combinations. The book offers more than 900 colour palettes with RGB and CMYK values, which makes it a very special inspirational source for artists, designers, and for anybody looking for a better understanding of the relationship between colour and emotions.
