This site is an extraordinary labor of expository love! I've encountered it a couple times over the last 8 years or so. Page after page of detailed summaries, explanations, arguments, graphs, pictures, diagrams. It just keeps going. It is at least a booksworth of material, and with book-style glosses and marginalia. I wonder why it's not already published as one.

There is in fact a book in the works: https://www.handprint.com/CE/book.html

I'm looking forward to it, it's likely to be one of the definitive resources on color. I believe it's important to pay attention to the artistic perspective; I think the belief that there is a "scientifically correct" approach to color problems is often a damaging form of scientism.

Together with `Interaction of Color` by Josef Albers - these two were the primary sources to teach me colors.

In my view this site is as valuable amongst the other online resources as the book is amongst the other books about color theory.
