Color & Information

I don't have the book Envisioning Information yet, but I read the section about color and information in class! My ADD kicked in when it got theoretical with the diagrams, but for the most part it was informative. What caught my attention was that trained colorists can distinguish among 1,000,000 colors...WOW!

I've always been attracted to nature colors, and according to Tufte, most people are because we are familiar to it and it has authority. Interesting!

Color is my favorite part of design, and there's a lot to learn about it.
