Dealing with color is a complex subject: influenced by standards,
fashions, and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color
theories, intuition, and personal preferences. The color swatches
and systems for describing color common today are based on purely
quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how
do we choose a particular color? More than ten years ago, the color
chemist Katrin Trautwein established a pigment factory, starting
out from Le Corbusier's color palette. She now has more than 900
recipes for paint from which she has proposed - based on her work
with architects, designers, and historical preservationists - a
selection of 128 colors that produce pleasant results on their own
and also combine well. Each color is presented with a sample; their
potential uses and significance are also discussed. Katrin
Trautwein has lectured throughout the world on how to approach
colors, given seminars, given expert opinions, advised architects,
taught painters, and worked as a restorer.
