Description
This book examines the phenomenon of color charts that were created, developed, and sometimes published in 18th-century Europe. In this work, for the first time, color order systems, painters' and dyers' sample books and the tables of natural historians are all considered as color charts. The book offers a historiographical categorization of the charts into natural, pigmentary, and trichromatic color charts and then scrutinizes and explains what their differences are based on and what factors are responsible for their similarities. For this purpose, this work brings to light, compares, and analyzes numerous primary sources and colorful illustrations.
