Nature's Palette: A colour reference system from the natural world

This book is the best book I have ever seen with relation to colour, colour theory, how colour connects with nature, natural history, zoology, insects, rocks/stones/minerals and a must have for people interested in art and colour.This book is like an encyclopaedia.It’s so beautifully made, and the presentation is exceptionally stunning!!This book covers the origins, development and influence of Werner’s Nomenclature of colour.In the top corner of each page there is a colour and the pictures relate to the colour.The layout is so stunning, exceptional well laid out. It has pull out sections. There has been no expense spared with this book.This book would make an incredible gift for an artist as it’s a book you would treasure for life, but also use as a reference guide tool when needing to refer to colour.I think this book should be in every school/university/library because it’s so comprehensive and so incredible and inspiring.

Beautifully produced, this book is full of information and high quality illustrations and photos. An inspiring book for nature lovers and people who love colour! I bought this to keep on my studio bookshelf and it's one that I know I'll refer to again and again. It will provide great colour palette inspiration. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book - it's one of the most beautiful and useful books I've seen in a long time.

This book is another brilliant buy. Better in my hand than watched on youtube. It's a glorious book full of info, colour, and it's design is too marks from me!

A joyous read for anyone interested in colour or looking to expand their ideas for creative practice. Will be a source of inspiration for many years.

Very detailed and historical. Not a light read, and would definately require reading parts of the book twice to gain a greater understanding of the contents.

Gorgeous book, just to browse through or use practically - I went down a rabbit hole mixing various oranges and lost quite a few hours! Thoroughly recommend.

This is a beautiful book, plenty of reference colours. X

This is a nice looking book,I'd wanted this book principally for botanical colour matching, but as much of the book focuses on fauna rather than flora, it wasn't the right one for me.Also, many of the colour samples at the front of the book are miniscule; 2.5mm square is a GENEROUS estimate.A shame, as I'd been really looking forward to this one.Returned.

Sem dúvidas, uma compra que vale muito!

Un très bon livre, avec plein d’info et photos intéressantes. Les image ont l’effet peinture mat. Cet effet mat me dérange un peu. Personnellement, J’aurai préféré avoir des image de haute qualité comme celle qu’on trouve d’habitude dans les livre des beaux-arts. Mais cela n’affecte pas la qualité des informations dans ce livre. Et le couverture reste très jolie à voir.

One of the best book to understand the origin of the colours

🦜’If u don’t see the book u want on the shelf, write it.’ AND @anatomyofcolour @delhispearman has done exactly that. This 📕 has helped me tremendously during my home decor paint 🎨 evaluation on various materials from Tiles to fabrics to wood to glass ♥️

Fine print. But the handwriting print on colour plates is too small. Icons are also very small and can make sense only if you read extensively.
