Do You Know What Book Says Green + Black = A Stubborn Combination?

By , About.com Guide   January 29, 2010

Follow me on:

Received this from a reader this morning:

I once read a book published in Germany which explained the meaning of each combination of two color. For instance, green and black indicated stubbornness. Blue and red indicated the longing for emotional connectedness. The book has color cut-outs for each color that you could put together. Does anyone remember this book? -- Guest nyny3a

I'm not familiar with the book myself. How about you? Does anyone know the name of this or a similar book that gives meaning to color pairs rather than just the individual colors?

I have yet to read it, but the only book I can think of is Johannes Itten, Elements of Color or Art of Color (which Elements is based on.)

Hope this helps!
