Was ist Metamerie? Wie erhält man anhand der Farbvorlage die Rezeptur? Was genau sagt die Kubelka-Munk-Theorie aus? Das Buch zur erfolgreichen Seminarreihe "Coloristik" liefert nun den aktuellen Wissensstand der Themengebiete Farbmetrik, Farbmessung und Farbanalyse erstmals in einem Werk. Oberstes Ziel ist neben der Praxisorientierung eine anschauliche und verständliche Darstellung der Lehrinhalte. Darüber hinaus werden aktuelle Themen wie z.B. die neuesten Entwicklungen bei den Effektpigmenten und deren Messung behandelt.
