Why read it?
1 author picked Nature's Palette as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When a book has compelling content plus is a beautiful object, I call that “having it all.” This handsome volume takes us inside the nature-centric world of color and is an admirable, elegant treatise on the subject.
I enjoy sitting with this book, flipping through the pages, rewarded on every spread with engravings, etchings, color swatches, marbled end papers, and tasteful typography. I can either dig deep and explore an unrivaled tutorial on the subject, or I can focus on the endless visuals—either way, the enduring beauty of Nature is richly represented in this stately volume.
From Lynne's list on the colors you crave.
