Beginning with simple sensory experiences and experiments, the author

colors, and the mystery of colored shadows. He also offers commentary on
the psychology and mythology of colors and demonstrates connections
between them, the planets and the signs of the zodiac.
The book gives readers a delightfully illustrated introduction to the
world of colors. Packed with full-color images, it leads from perception
to understanding and from experience to practice. This book is ideal for
parents, teachers and anyone who wishes to develop a deeper knowledge
and appreciation of the phenomenon of color.
