Textile colour mixing : a manual intended for the use of dyers, calico printers, and colour chemists
A 1927 London manual by David Paterson, published by Ernest Benn, written for dyers, calico printers and colour chemists to explain how textile colours mix. Its pictures are plain diagrams of the visible spectrum, with labelled bands from red through orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, and dotted or hatched curves showing absorption and intensity. A designer could borrow the clear banded spectrum layout and the hatched curve treatment for simple colour-range or wavelength graphics.
