This book, titled Fundamentals of Design Color Matching, is part of the New Design Series compiled by the Japanese Institute of Design and Visual Design. It is divided into two main sections: Preparation for Color Matching and Practice of Color Matching.
The Preparation for Color Matching section helps readers grasp the overall impact of color matching. It covers essential knowledge such as the basic concepts of color and the fundamental principles behind effective color coordination.
The Practice of Color Matching section presents two key color matching techniques: highlighting and blending. Building on these methods, it explains how to create atmosphere within an image and how to use the emotional responses evoked by colors to express various themes.

The book presents color matching concepts through rich, detailed illustrations, making the learning experience both lively and engaging. Throughout the chapters, multiple color combinations demonstrate the different effects various pairings can achieve, helping readers better understand their impact.
At the end of each chapter, vivid exercises reinforce the material, allowing readers to test their understanding and gain a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, the book offers practical tips on applying color matching principles in everyday life. This approach ensures that readers can not only use these skills professionally but also add vibrancy and harmony to their daily surroundings.
I am confident this book will become an invaluable resource for anyone passionate about color and design, especially those who appreciate life’s finer aesthetic details.
