Suggestions for the study of colour
A 1923 printed colour study by H. Barrett Carpenter, published in Rochdale, England, offering teaching suggestions for students learning colour. Its pictures are flat printed colour swatches: rectangles of red, pink, magenta, green and teal, each carrying a simple repeated motif of dots, teardrops, ovals or waves. A designer could take from them plain, high-contrast colour pairings and easily repeated spot-and-stripe pattern ideas.
