I recently received a nice email from Leslie Cabarga, noted illustrator and the author of my favorite colour design book, The Designer's Guide to Color Combinations. The great thing about Cabarga's approach is that it puts colour in a clear cultural context; it is a holistic approach to design that I think is very important. The author will soon be publishing a new book with a similar theme, The Designer's Guide to Global Color Combinations, that should appear in November.
