This short, text-heavy book packs in a lot of information about color, including an explanation of the color wheel, the way that light interacts with pigment, the emotional effect that various colors have on people, and formulas for making natural dyes. Senisi describes ten common colors and provides directions for craft projects using dyes as well as leaves and flowers. Bright color photos punch up the presentation. Bib.
