Colour is coded with information that supports and sustains energy, whatever you need: comfort, strength, guidance, wisdom, healing, prosperity, and loveit is all there and so much more. It is not a mystery or miracle, simply a mindful balance of energy. Connect with Colour gives you tools and shows you how to change your energy and your outcome. Narelle is truly one of life's remarkably gifted people. Her understanding of colour goes beyond mind. Narelle discovered that light was a living energy, alive, carrying intelligent information, and creating life, and she wanted to share this with others when she founded Soul Colour. Narelle says: Colour naturally balances, transforms and energizes matter. When all the colours of the spectrum are in harmony, pristine light or pure energy is formed, and this is the vibration love is carried on. Living colour is real energy. Colour can assist us to go beyond the thinking mind, to transcend duality, and to merge with your own divinity. Narelles knowledge on colour touches the deepest part of your being and can guide you to a deeper awakening within yourself.

We perceive color everywhere and on everything that we encounter in daily life. Color science has progressed to the point where a great deal is known about the mechanics, evolution, and development of color vision, but less is known about the relation between color vision and psychology. However, color psychology is now a burgeoning, exciting area and this Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of emerging theory and research. Top scholars in the field provide rigorous overviews of work on color categorization, color symbolism and association, color preference, reciprocal relations between color perception and psychological functioning, and variations and deficiencies in color perception. The Handbook of Color Psychology seeks to facilitate cross-fertilization among researchers, both within and across disciplines and areas of research, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in color psychology in both theoretical and applied areas of study.

The history of art is inseparable from the history of color. And what a fascinating story they tell together: one that brims with an all-star cast of characters, eye-opening details, and unexpected detours through the annals of human civilization and scientific discovery. Enter critically acclaimed writer and popular journalist Victoria Finlay, who here takes readers across the globe and over the centuries on an unforgettable tour through the brilliant history of color in art. Written for newcomers to the subject and aspiring young artists alike, Finlay’s quest to uncover the origins and science of color will beguile readers of all ages with its warm and conversational style. Her rich narrative is illustrated in full color throughout with 166 major works of art—most from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Readers of this book will revel in a treasure trove of fun-filled facts and anecdotes. Were it not for Cleopatra, for instance, purple might not have become the royal color of the Western world. Without Napoleon, the black graphite pencil might never have found its way into the hands of Cézanne. Without mango-eating cows, the sunsets of Turner might have lost their shimmering glow. And were it not for the pigment cobalt blue, the halls of museums worldwide might still be filled with forged Vermeers. Red ocher, green earth, Indian yellow, lead white—no pigment from the artist’s broad and diverse palette escapes Finlay’s shrewd eye in this breathtaking exploration.
