Its interesting to ask which of the publications mentioned are scientific? For example: Is a set of structured examples (e.g. Albers) a scientific text? Does a text become a scientific text just because it has the word 'theory' in its title? Is a *history* of color a scientific text? Best wishes, Terry --- Dr Terence Love PhD(UWA), BA(Hons) Engin.

Dear colleagues, does anyone know recent literature or a literature review on the use of color in graphic design? In Germany we often resort to Eva Heller, 1989. Wie Farben wirken (How colors work). But this is not a scientific source.
