| 520 | _aColor Problems by Emily Noyes Vanderpoel is a practical manual on color theory and design written in the early 20th century. It translates scientific and artistic insights into usable guidance for decorators, designers, artisans, and general readers. Expect concise explanations paired with extensive color plates, practical rules for combining hues, and analyses drawn from history and nature. The opening of the manual states its purpose: to bridge rigorous color science and studio practice with brief text and many plates so lay readers can apply what they learn. An introduction praises its usefulness for arranging contrasts, quantities, and subdued tones, and for its clear “historic color” diagrams. The first chapter addresses color-blindness—its forms, detection with simple wool tests, causes, prevalence, and practical aids such as colored lenses. It then outlines how the eye and light produce color, surveying major theories (Young–Helmholtz and Hering), before defining hue, purity, and luminosity, warm/cool behavior, and the making of tints, shades, and broken tones, including how pigments and lighting (daylight, gas, electric, and colored light) shift appearances. Next, it explains simultaneous, successive, and mixed contrast, how to find complementary pairs (via Maxwell disks), and offers practical rules for balancing quality and quantity of color—illustrated by examples like a scarlet accent against blue-green—before beginning a framework of wider harmonies based on Chevreul’s schemes of analogy and contrast.
