Aimed to fashion students and designers, Palette Perfect is both a practical guide and an inspirational book that proposes a reflection on the universe of colour combinations, the moods and atmospheres they evoke and how we associate particular places and emotions to special colours. Each chapter explores a particular mood and describes the corresponding feelings and colour combinations, using as examples exquisite photographs of objects, still-lives, landscapes, interiors and fashion. At the end of each chapter, a wide variety of palettes representing the chapter’s particular mood or atmosphere is included.

Lauren Wager's follow up to her bestselling Color Collective's Palette Perfect features a fresh approach to colour combinations with entirely new palettes, organised by season. What colour is summer? Is it a cool and translucent swimming pool aquamarine, brilliant watermelon red, or the pale pink interior of a seashell? If these colours define summer, what colour is autumn? How about winter? And spring? In Palette Perfect, Volume 2, designer and best-selling author Lauren Wager explores the multiple possibilities of seasonal color applications, leading the reader through an inspirational presentation of image pairings and colour combinations. The colour palettes are portrayed in a fresh and dynamic way that allows the reader to see how certain colours play off each other in foreground and background, close together and further apart. This format is a different take on colour palettes than Volume 1, and still provides the RGB and CMYK values for artists that would like to translate the colours for web and print. This volume - both a practical guide and inspirational book for designers, illustrators, architects, and crafters, as well home decoration and fashion lovers, professional or otherwise - provides examples of colour application within the worlds of contemporary art, fashion, interiors, photography and graphic design. It is a carefully gathered collection of colour palettes and stunning images with a touch of the unexpected, utterly successful in its aim.
