Rating:  - Need help with colors, this book is it!
Gives you great combinations, layed out in themes. Very easy to use. Plus has exact CMYK/RBG numbers so you can type in the numbers and get the exact colors as the book. Great for painters, designers, artists, or anyone using colors for thier products or home. You can even use it on Microsoft Paint!
Rating:  - If you are a professional who works with Pantone book, DON'T buy this book.
Usually, I don't write reviews, but in this case, I had to.
As a graphic designer, when I get recommendation for a book, I always keep in mind who gave it to me. That is why I bought this book. It is recommended by HOW Design magazine. But when I opened the book, compared the colors in it to the Pantone swatches, I was unpleasantly surprised. The colors are WAY OFF from what they should look like.

For my purposes, "A Book of Colors" by Shigenobu Kobayashi was better. It contains less color combinations and ... Read More
Rating: - No shelf should be without it!
The Color Index along with its siblings are by far the most referenced handbook in my collection. I use this in conjunction with my Pantone books. The possibilities are endless. No shelf should be without it!
