Colorama. My Chromatic Sample
Paris green, frog blue, Indian summer, beetle black... raise your hand if you’ve already put these colours in your rainbow! Certainly, very few of us have, for this is the very personal chromatic sample created by Cruschi, a French designer who has undertaken to list 133 shades, associating them with her magnificent illustrations and explanations. Her catalogue is the outcome of a detailed study based on her own life experiences, from her childhood memories to the art lessons she attended, through to her meticulous scientific, historical, and linguistic investigations. It is therefore a must also for those who have already mastered Goethe’s and Itten’s theories of colour, or who believe they know all the colours in the works of the great Paul Klee. Colorama.
