Student's text-book of color ; or, Modern Chromatics, with applications to art and industry
A late nineteenth-century colour theory textbook by American physicist and painter Ogden N. Rood, published in New York in 1908 for students of art and industry. Its pictures are plain line diagrams and shaded circles that show colour mixing and complementary pairs, such as blue and yellow or red and blue-green, with labelled spokes and a triangular chart of mixtures; a designer could borrow their simple schematic logic for colour wheels and palette charts.
