Abstract: "Color is a powerful aid to visual data representation. This Research Report provides course notes for a tutorial presented at SIGGRAPH, describing human color vision, basic color theory, and applications in graphics and visualization."

Color Theory and Modeling for Computer Graphics, Visualization, and Multimedia Applications deals with color vision and visual computing. This book provides an overview of the human visual system with an emphasis on color vision and perception. The book then goes on to discuss how human color vision and perception are applied in several applications using computer-generated displays, such as computer graphics and information and data visualization. Color Theory and Modeling for Computer Graphics, Visualization, and Multimedia Applications is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate-level course on computer graphics, computer imaging, or multimedia computing and as a reference for researchers and practitioners developing computer graphics and multimedia applications.

This book provides an overview of the application of color theory concepts to digital media and visualization. It highlights specific color concepts like color harmony and shows how to apply the concept with case study examples and usage of actual online and mobile color tools. Color deficiencies are reviewed and discussed are color tools for examining how a specific color map design will look to someone with the deficiency. Other books on color examine artists' use of color, color management, or color science. This book applies fundamental color concepts to digital media and visualization solutions. It is intended for digital media and visualization content creators and developers. Presents Color Theory Concepts that can be applied to digital media and visualization problems over and over again Offers Comprehensive Review of the Historical Progression of Color Models Demonstrates actual case study implementations of color analyses tools Provides overview of Color Theory and Harmony Analytics in terms of online and mobile analysis tools Teaches the color theory language to use in interacting with color management professionals

Design Fundamentals: Notes on Color Theory looks and functions like a student's sketchbook with hand-written notes and illustrations capturing the key concepts and assignments taught in a basic course on colour. Design Fundamentals: Notes on Color Theory is an essential guide and learning experience covering the basics and history of colour science, the practical awareness of colour qualities and characteristics, and the use of colour in art and design for composition and visual expression. Fun and fast-paced, this imaginative notebook isn't required reading, it's desired reading; and it's one book that students will want to keep and enjoy long after they've mastered the fundamentals of designing with colour.

A beautifully illustrated volume for architects and designers that reviews the theoretical foundations of color and design. The book explores the ideas of Albers, Itten, Kandinsky, Munsell, and other theorists, and provides a technical base for their application to architecture and design by means of color graphic computing. 181 color illustrations.
