King, John L. · 1923 · Fine Arts Publishing · 14 pictures

A 1923 colour mixing guide by John L. King, published by Fine Arts Publishing, aimed at artists, painters, decorators, printers, sign writers and colour mixers, giving mixtures by parts. The pictures show overlapping colour circles for mixing subtractive primaries (orange, green, purple, and yellow, red, blue) with their overlaps shown as dark mixed areas, plus a faceted diamond shape and a book cover. A designer might take from them a clear, schematic way of showing how paired hues combine and overlap.
