This book is awesome!!! It has clear explanations of the color wheel and lots of examples of how colors relate to each other. It is packed with answers to questions that I have been trying to grasp. The best part is that now I will be able to apply this deeper understanding to creating my own art. I have a whole new level of appreciation and understanding of color and how it works, and how to analyze color in works of art. Highly recommend!!!

You don’t have to be an artist to love Color Movement Theory. This book makes me see color from a refreshing, new perspective. I’m surrounded by artists in my life, and I have always loved color. Yet my own efforts with color often feel awkward, and my color combinations in fashion or decor always seem a bit haphazard. Color Movement Theory gives me insight as to why this has been so: I am not fluent in the language that color speaks.
Through the use of clear explanations accompanied by graphics and works of art, Robert Najlis makes it easy to see how color has direction, is dynamic, and flows. Color is not linear and the color wheel is not some boring disc with related colors on it. It’s more like a beautiful whorl of color, ever flowing through the spectrum of light with purpose and flexibility.
Color Movement Theory is not just another color theory book. The author’s talent and vast knowledge in his field rings true. Examples are unique and detailed (ex: 15th Century Iranian Star), and in-depth analysis is informed and thoughtful. Works of artists from across centuries to now, are presented as illustrations of a movement of color that is with us always. Varied, unrelated genres are all enfolded in the same ubiquitous flow of color.
Being an acupuncturist, I am right at home with the idea of color as movement, of color as a flow that is part of life – color as another expression of Qi. Chinese Medicine is about relationship, and now I understand how color, like music, exists in relationship. Through his book Color Movement Theory, Robert Najlis has given me a new perspective on color that fits perfectly into my creative vision of the world.
I now I have a way to learn the language of color and am excited about engaging with color in many aspects of my life.

Thanks to the author for letting us know that the science of colors is not stagnant; it evolves continuously. It is not constant; it can be rethought. The engaging content of the book guides us through theories and suggests different angles to understand how colors interact with each other and how they transmit different feelings. The language is attractive and understandable, even for those whose native language is not English.
