This Interior Colour Book can be used as a tool for understanding colour in the interior environment. It is part educational, part visual and explores themany aspects of colour.

This book has been designed to cover a wide range of topics, including Inclusive Colour, Colour Psychology and Paint Application to be enjoyed in its entirety or for individual sections to be explored in greater detail. Colour is vital to humans and essential inmany industries. It plays a huge part in interiors and canmake or break a successful design. For millions of years colour has been used in nature and by humans to communicate; often to warn or to attract attention. Since ancient times civilisations have gone to incredible lengths to learn, understand and recreate colour. There have beenmany developments to categorise and capture colour. Knowledge of colour is still growing and will continue to do so and we hope to share a small part of it in this Interior Colour Book.
