With the help of his own "Quiller Wheel," a special foldout wheel featuring 68 precisely placed colors, the author shows artists how they can develop their own unique color blends. First, Quiller demonstrates how to use the wheel to interpret color relationships and mix colors more clearly. Then he explains, step by step, how to develop five structured color schemes, apply underlays and overlays, and use color in striking, unusual ways. This book will bring out every artist's unique sense of color whether he or she works in oil, watercolor, acrylics, gouache, or casein. Review: This is probably the second best book on color that I have read and anyone can understand - While I am a watercolour painter, this book also talk to the acrylic and oil artist. This book has a lot of information about colour and how it works in order to have an outstanding painting with colors helping each other rather than it looking chaotic and somehow out of sync. The only other books that I would recommend on color that I have read so that anyone can understand are below. In addition, I would recommend PANTONEs Guide to Communicating with color by Eiseman. It is a great book to use to understand the psychology behind color and how it is used to communicate a mood or feeling. Let's face it, Marketing does this all the time and it can also be used as a guide when deciding what hues you want to use in your artwork. I love this book and is a great cheat reference for me and also has some surprising color combinations that I would never have thought of. For any Artist: Color Mixing Bible, by Ian Sidaway _________________________ "COLOR WORKS, the Crafters Guide to Color" by Deb Menz FOR ANYONE who wants to know about COLOR THEORY this text breaks it down so that ANYONE can understand this complex subject. I learnt more about color theory in this book than all others put together because I now "Understand" the concept. While this book is for the textile artist, ALL artists should get it and it also has cut outs to use when choosing your colour palette whether it be for Fashion Design or Art. Review: An Ah-Ha Moment - I've been searching for that perfect book which would deepen my understanding of color and the color wheel so that I can apply it to my quilt-making. Reading Stephen Quiller's 144-page book on color theory provided several ah-ha moments for me. The title says it all, "Color Choices - Making Color Sense Out Of Color Theory". He teaches workshops on color, so this book was extremely informative and simple to understand. I actually found it to be an enjoyable read. My main question around color has always been, "So what? Yes, colors lay next to each other and opposite each other on the color wheel, so what?" It finally connected for me, thanks to Stephen's down-to-earth writing style that, "Color is magic! And what a gift it is to use color in a way that truly expresses what the artist feels." It's difficult to articulate those ah-ha moments in a product review, but here's how one moment worked for me: to assist the reader, Stephen offers sections in the book called, "Six Studies". There are 6 of the same subjects painted differently 6 times using various color schemes and he asks you to, "Notice how each study differs in color emphasis, value, and intensity. Also look at how the various moods have been developed, ranging from calm and serene, to austere, to fantasy-like, to dynamic and powerful." Because of the 6 side-by-side comparisons, my eye traveled differently around each painting and I began to understand the theory of contrast. Or, I would like one painting and despise another connecting to the theories of intensity and color harmony. Wow! I actually get it! Then he explains what the color is doing for you, for example, "The bright orange has been neutralized to create a distinct mood." He's an art instructor, so at the end of each chapter he offers a "Workshop" where he provides exercises for the painter. I continue to find great value in re-reading and experiencing this book and I don't even paint! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #96,429 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #117 in Graphic Design Color Use #299 in Painting (Books) #1,551 in Coloring Books for Grown-Ups | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 969 Reviews | ## Images ![Color Choices: Making Color Sense Out of Color Theory - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uNG+vTYTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is probably the second best book on color that I have read and anyone can understand *by M***T on September 12, 2013* While I am a watercolour painter, this book also talk to the acrylic and oil artist.

If you ever wondered why some reds work best with some blues or yellows, this is the book for you. It clearly explains how you can find where a hue lies in relation to any other color thus allowing you to find that color's true complement - which you need to know if you want to make perfect neutrals and semineutrals. There are dozens of examples of color schemes & paintings - illustrating how to achieve a pallette that works together for the most pleasing hues to use in a painting. This book helped me more than any other book on color theory and his "Quiller Wheel" is useful for watercolor, acrylics, oils, etc. This book was recommended by a YT watercolorist - L De Masi - and I am so glad I listened to her suggestion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Color Choices - Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter - Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1273742-color-choices-making-color-sense-out-of-color-theory](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1273742-color-choices-making-color-sense-out-of-color-theory) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
