Color Standards and Color Nomenclature
With fifty-three colored plates and eleven hundred and fifteen named colors
About this book
Color Standards and Color Nomenclature is a comprehensive reference work authored by Robert Ridgway, first published in 1912. This seminal volume presents a systematic approach to the identification, classification, and naming of colors, making it an invaluable resource for artists, naturalists, designers, and scientists. The book features fifty-three meticulously crafted colored plates, each displaying a range of hues, tints, and shades, accompanied by precise color samples. In total, the work catalogs and names 1,115 distinct colors, providing standardized terminology and visual references that facilitate accurate communication about color across various disciplines. Ridgway's methodical organization groups colors into families and subcategories, offering detailed descriptions and comparisons to natural objects, such as flowers, minerals, and animal plumage. Each color entry includes its standardized name, a visual swatch, and, where applicable, references to its occurrence in nature or previous color systems. The book's introduction discusses the challenges of color nomenclature, the need for standardization, and the scientific principles underlying color perception and reproduction. Color Standards and Color Nomenclature stands as a landmark in the history of color science, influencing subsequent color systems and nomenclature standards. Its blend of scientific rigor and practical utility has ensured its enduring relevance for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of color and its classification.
