Kleuradvies – Elementaire kleurenleer (hardcover)

Kleuradvies – Elementaire kleurenleer is the foundational book for anyone who wants to give colour advice, professionally or as an enthusiast. The book explains the basics of colour theory step by step, with a focus on the practice of design, interiors, styling and communication. The book is written in Dutch.

The content is built around the essential concepts of colour perception:

• hue
• lightness
• chroma
• contrast
• coherence and balance

With clear diagrams, practical examples and concrete guidelines, you learn how these basic principles lead to clear and convincing colour advice. The book is aimed at designers, stylists, colour consultants and students who want a solid foundation before they work with more complex colour models or colour systems.

Thanks to the hardcover binding and high-quality printing, this book is a lasting reference work in your practice. It is also a good stepping stone to follow-on subjects such as applied colour technology, colour psychology and the professional CXP methodology.
