This thread about color theory is WAY over my head. I live for color, work in it every day, but STUDY? That sounds suspiciously like the dreaded "sampling". And if you're going to start with Fibonacci, I'm outta here! My understanding and technique are titled "the mad chemist meets Jackson Pollock".

I am fascinated though by the studies (oops) done on the emotional and psychological impact of color on the mind. Some interesting work done on that by a Swiss - I forget his name. The book's around here somewhere. Susan wrote: > A friend once pointed out that the smaller the pieces in a quilt, say, > the > more colors you can get away with. His reasoning?

Skip the b&w stuff for this discussion and go right to the color. http://www.paceprints.com/contemporary/close/close-detail.asp?id=904 http://www.dkonline.com/dkcom/dk/ink/ink_chuck.html Rhinebeck was lovely. The day started out rainy as we pulled out at 5:30 am and DH was ready to abort the mission, but I insisted it was just heavy mist. (God bless husbands for the things they will permit themselves to believe). The day cleared beautifully and he had a great time. I'm really glad of that because he had to drive more than 6 hours. He's now fascinated by cashmere goats :-( I have learned to be very cautious when he takes an interest in anything that has four legs or four wheels.
