About this book
"The laws of contrast of colour : and their application to the arts of…." by M. E. Chevreul is a scientific treatise written in the mid-19th century. It sets out a rigorous theory of how adjacent colours alter one another in hue and tone, and applies these principles to painting, textiles, printing, architecture, dress, horticulture, and even military uniforms. Expect experiments, diagrams, and practical rules intended to replace vague “taste” with clear methods for creating harmonious and effective colour arrangements. The opening of the treatise moves from prefatory material into a clear statement of purpose: to explain and prove the law of simultaneous contrast and show its uses.
