The book takes a structured, hands-on approach to color. It guides readers through observation, materials, interaction, harmony, and digital color studies.
Book Overview
Color is a clearly organized workshop manual for artists and designers. David Hornung, a visual artist and educator, draws on long teaching experience to make color theory accessible through practice.
The second edition is published by Laurence King Publishing and includes a preface by Michael James and a foreword by Lydia Neuman. The course is arranged in ten parts, from seeing color through color studies on the computer, with an illustrated glossary, bibliography, credits, and index.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- A practical framework built on hue, value, and saturation.
- Guidance on materials and techniques for color work.
- Exercises for beginning color studies and color interaction.
- Methods for applying color principles and creating color harmony.
- A section on color research and color experience.

Why This Book Matters
Color can be one of the most elusive elements for artists and designers to master. This workshop responds with a hands-on, logical course of study developed through years of teaching.
In the preface, Michael James writes that the book deserves a place alongside classics of color literature such as Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color and Johannes Itten’s The Art of Color.
