The Designer's Dictionary of Color by Sean Adams
3.0
First of all, you can tell this book was made by a designer because it's graphic organization is very thoughtful and it gives an impression of simmetry that I appreciated and enjoyed. It even feels luxurious, especially in the last section when we can clearly appreciate the fluorescent and metallic colors.
The linguist in me appreciated learning about the etymology of these different colors, and I found the palettes very helpful for someone who would want to start a website or the image of a brand and does not have the tools that a designer would have.
However, since it is such a big book in terms of pages and overall size, one would hope that it would give a deeper look into the cultural meanings associated with the colors the book mentions, or at least the sources used by the author so the reader can research more by himself.
