« Dans sa perception visuelle une couleur n'est presque jamais vue telle qu'elle est réellement - telle qu'elle est physiquement. Cette constatation fait de la couleur le moyen d'expression artistique le plus relatif. Pour utiliser efficacement les couleurs il est indispensable d'admettre que la couleur trompe continuellement.

Summary:
« Dans sa perception visuelle une couleur n'est presque jamais vue telle qu'elle est réellement - telle qu'elle est physiquement. Cette constatation fait de la couleur le moyen d'expression artistique le plus relatif. Pour utiliser efficacement les couleurs il est indispensable d'admettre que la couleur trompe continuellement. À cet effet, il ne faut pas commencer par étudier les systèmes de couleurs préétablis. Il faut d'abord apprendre qu'une seule et même couleur appelle des lectures innombrables. Au lieu d'appliquer mécaniquement ou de simplement sous-entendre des lois et des règles d'harmonie, on produit des effets de couleur distincts - en admettant l'interaction des couleurs - en obtenant, par exemple, que 2 couleurs différentes aient l'air identiques, ou presque. » -Joseph Albers

Summary:
Au cours du XXe siècle, l'architecture a largement ignoré la couleur, et si ce mépris n'est plus à l'ordre du jour, loin de là, il subsiste à son égard une méconnaissance de ses possibilités et des conditions pour optimiser son utilisation. En effet, la couleur n'est pas anodine, elle est matière à part entière : elle peut transformer l'espace architecturé et le valoriser(...)

Summary:
Au cours du XXe siècle, l'architecture a largement ignoré la couleur, et si ce mépris n'est plus à l'ordre du jour, loin de là, il subsiste à son égard une méconnaissance de ses possibilités et des conditions pour optimiser son utilisation. En effet, la couleur n'est pas anodine, elle est matière à part entière : elle peut transformer l'espace architecturé et le valoriser si elle répond à une réelle prise en compte du milieu naturel et construit dans lequel elle s'exerce, et des enjeux auxquels elle est confrontée. Largement illustré par des exemples tirés de projets, de références de chantier, de réalisations concrètes, «Chromo-architecture» propose une réflexion à la fois théorique et pratique sur l'application de la couleur dans l'environnement, l'urbanisme et l'architecture.

Summary:
From ancient plant pigments that are revolutionizing contemporary fashion to new colors, such as the recently viral Millennial Pink, this wide-ranging deep dive into the world of color guides readers through the origins, connotations, specs, brand associations and artistic use of colors throughout history. Unfolding, like a rainbow, across the visible spectrum, the chapters are divided by basic color - from red to violet and including black and white - and introduced with engaging background information. Each chapter takes a closer look at a variety of specific shades in the color family, delving into cultural references that span fashion, art history, traditional and modern crafts, and product design. Readers will learn about woad - an ancient pigment that was employed by William Morris and has resurfaced in sustainable dyes - as well as the earliest known use of violet some 25,000 years ago. Each shade is accompanied by sidebars that offer technical specifications, mood connotations, and examples of its use in art and commerce. Informative and endlessly inspiring, this guide will be indispensable to anyone interested in how to use and combine colors in their life or work.

Most color classification systems available today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular color? Building on the success of her sample book 128 Colors, Katrin Trautwein presents a new selection of 225 colors, which is the result of her many years of cooperation with architects, designers, and conservators. Each color is presented with a handmade paint sample. Information on each color’s composition and origin is provided, and the features that distinguish it for architecture and design work are described.
