A collectible publication for graphic designers and creative entrepreneurs, this book is dedicated to ªColor Library,º one of the most commentated projects in the graphic design field in the past years. ªColor Libraryº is a database of color profiles for artists, designers, photographers, and printers who are looking for a novel yet professional color management solution. It offers a wide variety of color combinations, from basic colors through metallic, neon, and pastel. Created at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, ªColor Libraryº was launched in 2014. Initially developed for experimental purposes, the project was extended in order to create an online platform for development and distribution. This nonprofit website has a dual objective: to distribute an innovative tool for artists, designers, and printers, and to make students aware of color theory and color managementone of the main fields of contemporary design research. Among the graphic designers and creative structures that have used and/or are using ªColor Libraryº are ÊAbäke, Vitra, BaldingerVu-Huu, Edition Patrick Frey, Zak Kyes, Istituto Svizzero, Kunsthalle Basel, and Nero Publishing.
