Excerpt from The Mastery of Color, Vol. 1: A Simple and Perfect Color System, Based Upon the Spectral Colors, for Educational Purposes and Practical Use in the Arts and Crafts; Demonstrated by the Fundamental Pigments, Applied and Blended in the Author’s Studio
The author, in his capacity as a professional colorist and decorator, covering a period of over forty years, found the conception of color by different individuals so vague and vacillating, that he recognized the need of a definite system for arranging colors in a practical form. This need became more apparent, when he found himself confronted with the problem of produ cing, arranging, combining and illustrating color suggestions, precisely and systematically, for use in his profession. Fully cognizant of these facts, the system here introduced was gradually originated and developed to fill this want.
In presenting this work to the students and workers in the field of color, the author is actuated merely by a recognition of the exist ing need of certain positive and approved meth ods. Its mission is to meet this need in a com prehensive manner, render aid of a practical character, and add to the better understanding of the phenomenon of color and the advance ment of the fine arts.
