A Wide Range of Tools for Color Professionals!

1994




French version 
248 pages and 200 color photos

The first French book in color about color

COMMUNIQUER PAR LA COULEUR

1st leading work about color, written by 4 specialists from the color world (a colorist, an ophtamologist, a graphic arts specialist and an engineer). 
Color, from its creation to its observation, from its reproduction to its production, from its measurement to its control.
Written for everyone, it allows you to discover all aspects of this wonderful thing we call "color".

1998




French version
6 sample plates

UA simple yet essential pedagogical tool

"ECARTS COLORIMETRIQUES DANS L'ESPACE CIE1976" 
COLORIMETRIC DIFFERENCE SHEETS

These 6 plates (each containing 7 samples), allow colorimetric differences to be carried out in the CIE1976 space, illustrating the interpretation limits of numerical values compared with visual perception. 
These sheets are a true pedagogical tool, able to act as a communication basis between the different players in the color chain.
They also justify the adoption of acceptability systems such as the CMC and CIE 94 formulas.

The first interactive CD-ROM about color and colorimetry

COLOR & COLORIMETRY

This CD ROM is an essential tool for learning about the color phenomenon or finding a specific piece of information about colorimetry.
The CD-ROM is:

Educationsl thanks to its "Découverte" section, instructive thanks to its "Exploration" section, interactive thanks to its "Exercises" chapter, complete thanks to its "Lexique" section (containing more than 250 definitions), international thanks to its "French/English" version, and adaptable thanks to its PC and Mac installation possibilities.

French version New edition revised and completed

The second file for practical work

THE GUIDE TO COLOR NO.2

This revised and completed new edition has several new componants:

A new exercise on color vocabulary,
A chapter on color perceptability and acceptability, therefore color quality,
New sheets about:
-metamerism, visual aspects and appearance
(color and gloss)
-colorimetric differences and acceptability formulas (CIE 1976-CMC-CIE 94)

Deliberately made simple and practical, this 2nd color guide is a means for facilitating understanding between all of color trades and color specialists.
It is meant for all professions relating to color: designers, stylists, teachers, researchers, salespeople, colorists, engineers, technicians... wanting in-depth, serious and practical training in color and colorimetry.

Training and evaluation tool par excellence

THE COLOR TRAINING AND EVALUATION KIT

This training and evaluation kit highlights the possibilities of colorimetric spaces (in particular the CIE 1976 space) and the CMC and CIE 94 acceptability formulas.
It includes independant samples marking the differences in color and the differences in appearances. 
It is a veritable color training and evaluation tool.

LE KIT COULEUR DE MISE A LA TEINTE -SHADING KIT

This kit has 12 sheets, 11 primary shade sheets and one mixing test sheet. 
The goal of these sheets is to illustrate the formulation mechanisms according to the theories of one constant (transparent), 2 relative constants (opaque) and 2 absolute constants (translucent), while demonstrating the influence of aids. 
Genuine pedagogical tool to help you understand color preparation, formulation, and correction. 
It is perfectly adapted for learning formulation systems and the technical choice of a colorimetry system.

THE CD ROM "COLOR MATCHING"

Veritable tool allowing you to discover theoretic and mathematic principles used in forming and correcting color. 
This CD Rom explains the techniques for implementing formulation systems in order to analyse and optimize the creation of primaries, the set up of data bases and software use. 
Completed with the shading kit, "Le Kit de mise à la teinte", it is an interactive tool that makes all of the practical aspects of formulation understandable.
