Résumé

The use of colour in landscape architecture graphics is essential to the communication of ideas and designs, yet a real understanding of what colour choices to make, and why, can be a challenge for students starting out. Alongside coverage of theory and psychological responses to colour choices, Buitrago includes an innovative index of colour mixing to suggest key colour combinations and demonstrates the Pantone, Charpak, Prisma Color, RGB and CMYK 'recipes' to make up these mixes. A reference that will be used time and time again in studio and graphics classes.
