Where's the color?
Ok, call me a Philistine of you wish but I felt ripped off by this book. The topic is terrific and the author treats it in a very authoritative manner, albeit with a somewhat aloof tone. He attempts to make strong and important points but most of his illustrations are in BLACK and WHITE. To be specific, only 12 out of 36 illustrations are in color. If you happen to be already well-versed in art history, maybe that will suffice. The book is of such high quality-paper, finish, etc-that to have so much in black and white is very disappointing and almost comical.

Must have #1
Birren is one of the pillars of color perception. Here he tackles the very complex subject and defines it in understandable terms.

Perceiving light
Read in conjunction with faber's other books, this book once again confirms him as a leader in the field of colour theory for artists. This is a short book that looks at the work of Turner and then explores how to achieve colour effects in painting. It is a great pity that the few colour plates are relegated to the back of the book and that the rest of the illustrations are in black and white.

Very useful for painters
It explains how to render many colored scenes, tricks to emulate light sensations coming for the image, cheap, clear, good images, I highly recommend it
