Since antiquity, people have searched for a way to understand the
colors we see--what they are, how many there are, and how they can
be systematically identified and arranged in some kind of order.
How to order colors is not merely a philosophical question, it also
has many practical applications in art, design, and commerce. Our
intense interest in color and its myriad practical applications
have led people throughout history to develop many systems to
characterize and order it. The number of color order systems
developed throughout history is unknown but ranges in the hundreds.
Many are no longer used, but continue to be of historical interest.
Despite wrong turns and slow progress, our understanding of color
and its order has improved steadily. Although full understanding
continues to elude us, it seems clear that it will ultimately come
from research in neurobiology, perception and consciousness. Color
Ordered is a comprehensive, in-depth compendium of over 170
systems, dating from antiquity to the present. In it, Rolf Kuehni
and Andreas Schwarz present a history and categorization of color
systems, describe each one using original figures and schematic
drawings, and provide a broad review of the underlying theory.
Included are a brief overview of color vision and a synthesis of
the various systems. This volume is a unique and valuable resource
for researchers in color vision, and visual perception, as well as
for neuroscientists, art historians, artists, and designers.
