What is Chroma : Design, Architecture and Art in Color about?

Designers and architects have to make decisions regarding color every day. But how does one find the necessary inspiration? The appropriate color?

An additional chapter analyzes the work of outstanding artists, architects, and designers like Gerhard Richter,
