The Palest is most vibrant

I really loved this story.  I also liked the author's description of why she included certain experiences. So much to learn from people who keep their humanity during tyrannical times. Highly recommended.

incredible, when I ordered for the item i have not expected this much melancoly,it is far far better than mostly compared goldfrapp, which is now turning out to become mainstream stuff. slim is my favorite, this song deserves every praise but i will say it may be harmful for ones who are thinking to commit suicide...there are DJ Shadow-like interrupted radio voices that absolutely drive me crazy sort of try to tear the cell capturing me away...i don't know what to say more: buy this, consume this, this sort of consumption is the most harmless of all...

I'm still reading this, but based on the chapters I've read and parts I've scanned ahead, this is the best book I've read on the challenges of the exceptionally bright and sensitive, excitability and the concept of positive disintegration.  Most of the other stuff out there is either way to academic, or else does a better job admiring the problem than offering solutions.

The warm yellow glow is amazing. Just built a new spa in my basement, complete with a Himalayan salt wall, and bought four of these in different configurations. I love the look. I have no idea if there is anything to the advertised health benefits. Who cares?  Lighting is everything.

Clare Newbolt has written a book full of wonders for the senses. Her own sensitivity to color (British "colour" in the title) becomes the occasion for her to offer reflections on shade and tone, shape and hue. This is a book about seeing, about how we see and about why our seeing makes so much difference in our lives. Visual literacy is the issue at stake in these beautiful pages. Color makes a difference in our lives, perhaps especially in the lives of children, and Newbolt manages to explain what most of us have lost as we grow up, the ability to see the world in all of its dark and light, red and white, day and night brilliance. Buy this book for your children, but read it yourself as well. You will soon realize the extent to which your own color aesthetic has been impoverished by your education, whether you are an art historian or a corporate lawyer, a weekend watercolorist or a member of the Royal Academy. Put quite simply, Clare Newbolt's book helps young and old alike to see again. Have a look.

While less lightfast overall than the Mission "Gold" watercolor set of similar price, these have more semi-opaque colors and all are extremely vibrant. They are made for creating artwork that will be scanned for prints, allowing you to use bright colors to achieve your desired effect (instead of worrying about choosing colors that won't fade after years of hanging on a wall near a window where UV light fades the colors). I use these for my travel art journal, because the art will not be exposed to sunlight, it is more important to me that I am able to use a broad selection of colors. I advise adding a white and black gouache, I use M Graham brand for that, so that you can darken or lighten any color in this set. Gouache mixing allows you to create more opaque colors, especially nice when making pastels of the more transparent light colors in this set. I am extremely happy with the pigment load in these paints - a little goes a long way.

Makes a huge difference. No matter what skin tone. I can best describe it as like the flash without all the extra brightness.  Pretty cool.

Very vibrant. I get a lot of compliments on it.

The spectrum of beautiful men and beautiful colors abounds in this work. Yet another piece of grand masculinity arises again from the lens of the  ultimate male Photographer MARK HENDERSON

Beautiful red, looks amazing on ethnic skin tones from olive complexion to mochas and everything in between, however I don't feel it looks as popping on pale skin. The undertones of this color just don't suit pale skin as well. Just my opinion. The color is perfection in person!! It's a must have red

The color reproduction index is really low, makes the room look like a dull pale blue. Great value, bright but, at 50% they do have a flicker.  Would go with a higher CRI around 92 plus. The Cree led 2700k lights were significantly better and actually used one mixed with these to help make the room not look gloom.

Unlike at least one reviewer, I like Kevin MacPherson's bravura style.  True, he could use bolder color and value contrasts at times, but he does an excellent job at capturing the nuances of a warm, slightly hazy day.
The only negative criticism of MacPherson's work is that, in my view, his palette is a little TOO limited.  I have tried a limited palette roughly similar to his (titanium white, cadmium yellow light, alizarin crimson or cadmium red light, ultramarine blue, and Winsor [actually phthalocyanine] green) and I have found that a limited palette works much better using TWO yellows (a warm and a cool), two reds (same as the yellows), two blues (ditto--and no, I am NOT a Rush Limbaugh fan [LOL]), plus titanium white.
The most I could ever limit my palette to and still have great chromatic flexibility is the following:
titanium white
cadmium lemon yellow (cool)
cadmium yellow medium (warm)
cadmium red light (warm)
quinacridone red or quinacridone magenta (cool)
ultramarine blue (cool)
phthalocyanine blue (green shade)(warm)
That being said, this is still a great book.  I can hardly wait for MacPherson's proposed book of pond scenes outside his window.

As a professional colorist and a student of Alber's Yale students moved onto college professorships I can only say this is simply the best book on color that you can read.  If you have any designs on being facile in the use of color you cannot miss studying this book and doing the exercises.

Having tried a range of colors, I concur with my voice teacher, who told me the yellow was best--not too dark to see through, not too light to stand out.

The panels are thin, lightweight, and extremely bright.  All of my plants love this blue spectrum.

I am concerned by how incredibly bright this blouse is.  The color looked more subdued on the screen but it's definitely an eyeful.
