Suggestions for the Study of Colour Revised Edition Hardcover

Rediscover color through a century-old master’s eye.

First published in the early 20th century, Suggestions for the Study of Colour by Henry Barrett Carpenter remains a thoughtful and practical guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of color and its expressive power. Carpenter—an artist and educator—treats color not just as a visual element but as a language shaped by perception, harmony, contrast, and the natural world.

In this concise yet richly written work, he offers clear guidance on observing color in nature, recognizing its relationships, and applying those insights to artistic practice. His reflections on hue, tone, harmony, and the natural order of color continue to resonate with artists, designers, and students alike.

This new edition preserves Carpenter’s original text while presenting it in a clean, modern format. Whether you’re an artist refining your color sense, a textile designer, an art student, or simply a lover of classic art literature, this book is an inspiring companion to the study of the visual world.
