Summary:
Designers and architects have to make decisions regarding color every day. But how does one find the necessary inspiration? The appropriate color? How do other designers and artists deal with the issue? With "Chroma," the Greek word for color, as its title, this illustrated book provides answers to these questions and makes it clear that color is much more than mere decoration – it is one of the central problems of creative work. In the process, "Chroma" embraces the sensuous experience of color, inspiring and seducing the reader with unusual projects, from industrial products to color field painting. The book presents works by younger designers like Stefan Diez and Arik Levy as well as famous artists like Ellsworth Kelly. All of the works are presented in large-scale reproductions and also in a kind of color gradient, in which they are assigned to the chapters "monochromatic," "multichromatic," and "achromatic."

Summary:
It is not a book about colors. It is rather Kenya Hara’s attempt to explore the essence of "White", which he sees as being closely related to the origin of Japanese aesthetics – symbolizing simplicity and subtlety. The central concepts discussed by the author in this publication are emptiness and the absolute void. Good communication is the ability to listen to each other, rather than to press one’s opinion onto the opponent. Kenya Hara compares this form of communication with an "empty container". In visual communication, there are equally signals whose signification is limited, which, like an "empty container," permit signification and do not limit imagination. The Japanese character for white also forms a radical of the character for emptiness.

Summary:
Andrinople, carmin, cramoisi, écarlate, pourpre, rubis... rouge cardinal, Carpaccio, Dior, Ferrari, opéra, Valentino... rouge baiser, glamour... ruban rouge, la Butte rouge, Julie la Rousse, le Petit Chaperon rouge, l'Oeuvre au rouge... Rouge comme l'amour, le feu, l'érotisme, rouge de colère et rouge de honte, rouge de l'enfer et du diable, des guerres, de la violence et des révolutions. Rouge comme le sang du Christ qui purifie et comme la pourpre des empereurs. Rouge comme la gloire et comme le triomphe. Au fil des mots, le rouge, couleur ambivalente entre toutes, déploie ses jeux d'associations symboliques, oscillant d'un contraire à l'autre, mêlant le profane au sacré, la jouissance à l'effroi, l'ardeur à l'interdiction, le désir de purification au tabou de la chair. Couleur sensuelle et terrifiante à la fois, témoignage des contradictions de l'âme humaine et miroir de notre société contemporaine. Préface de Sonia Rykiel.

Summary:
Black has always stood for powerfully opposed ideas: authority and humility, sin and holiness, rebellion and conformity, wealth and poverty. In this illustrated book, the acclaimed author of Blue now tells the fascinating social history of the color black in Europe. For Pastoureau, the history of any color must be a social history first because it is societies that give colors everything from their changing names to their changing meanings--and black is exemplary in this regard. In dyes, fabrics, and clothing, and in painting and other art works, black has always been a forceful--and ambivalent--shaper of social, symbolic, and ideological meaning in European societies. With its striking design and compelling text, Black will delight anyone who is interested in the history of fashion, art, media, or design.

In ''100 Whites,'' Hara gives 100 examples of white, such as snow, Iceland, rice and wax. On the basis of these examples he discusses the importance of white in design—not only as a color but as a philosophy. Hara describes how he experiments with the different whites he instances, what they mean in the process of his work and how they influence design today. ''100 Whites'' is the extension of Hara's previously published book ''White.'' The publication explores the essence of white, which Hara sees as symbolizing simplicity and subtlety.
