A practical color manual by American painter Emily Noyes Vanderpoel, published in New York by Longmans, Green in 1902 for amateur students of color. Its plates reduce paintings, textiles and objects to ten-by-ten grids of flat colored squares that chart proportion, alongside diagrams of harmonies; designers can lift ready-made palettes, modular grid layouts and muted period color pairings.
