Crafters know that individual colors are always perceived in relation to the colors around them. The many pages of sample monochromatic and two-, three-, or four-color combinations here are based on rules of color theory and intended to take the trial and error out of combining colors for quilts or other art projects. Removable color swatches, templates, and a separate color wheel selector are included. Recommended for crafts and art collections.
