Gonyea's square format, generous use of space, and breezy, informal style work well with the topic. We learn about warm and cool colors, the emotional impact of colors, and the color wheel. Individual chapters and a text that covers only one simple idea per spread allow concepts to sink in. The casual tone makes new terminology and ideas seem less daunting.
