Review: The is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE BOOK!! - This book is the best book I have ever seen with relation to colour, colour theory, how colour connects with nature, natural history, zoology, insects, rocks/stones/minerals and a must have for people interested in art and colour. This book is like an encyclopaedia. It’s so beautifully made, and the presentation is exceptionally stunning!! This book covers the origins, development and influence of Werner’s Nomenclature of colour. In the top corner of each page there is a colour and the pictures relate to the colour. The layout is so stunning, exceptional well laid out. It has pull out sections. There has been no expense spared with this book. This book would make an incredible gift for an artist as it’s a book you would treasure for life, but also use as a reference guide tool when needing to refer to colour. I think this book should be in every school/university/library because it’s so comprehensive and so incredible and inspiring.

Nature's Palette é uma obra de arte. É um livro muito bem produzido em todos os sentidos, desde pesquisa e conteúdo até edição e diagramação. As imagens e impressões são de excelente qualidade. O papel é espesso e matte, evitando o reflexo da luz que pode deturpar as cores e também o "sangramento" da cor na página seguinte. Hoje em dia, na era de maximizar lucros e diminuir custos, são raros os produtos que parecem "valer o dinheiro"; esse livro é um deles; pode parecer caro, mas isso porque gastos não foram poupados na sua produção. Esse é um livro feito com muito cuidado e dedicação e você sente isso em cada página. O livro é baseado no sistema de catalogação de cores de Patrick Syme na segunda edição de "Nomenclatura de Cores de Werner" (1821). São 110 cores no total, organizadas em 10 grupos (brancos, cinzas, pretos, azuis, roxos, verdes, amarelo, laranja, vermelho e marrons) e em 13 placas de cor originais. O revolucionário no sistema de Syme foi a associação de cada cor à um animal, vegetal e mineral, eliminando, assim, as possíveis discrepâncias na percepção das cores descritas. Na época, a técnica de impressão disponível ainda não possuía cores e elas precisavam ser pintadas à mão; havia grande variação no resultado, mesmo que não intencional. Ao oferecer exemplos no mundo real, esse problema era evitado. Cada seção do livro é composta, nessa ordem, por: - página-título; - reprodução da placa de cor original respectiva à cor da seção (algumas seções possuem folhas dobráveis e muito bonitas); - uma tabela com a amostra da cor, o número e nome atribuído por Syme, o nome e uma pequena imagem do animal, vegetal e mineral que Syme usa como exemplo; - uma página individual para cada cor da tabela com as ilustrações maiores e a descrição da composição da cor; - por fim, um artigo discutindo a história dos sistemas de Werner e Syme ou a aplicação deles na zoologia, botânica e medicina. Há uma abundância de imagens de referência que acompanham os artigos e, quando possível, as cores das imagens são catalogadas usando o sistema de Syme. Essa é uma informação especialmente útil, pois as cores originais das placas perderam saturação nos 200 anos desde que foram criadas, então as fotografias com as cores sinalizadas nos dá uma impressão mais autêntica da intenção original. No final do livro, há uma tabela que associa cada cor de Syme com um código CMYK ou Pantene, assim como empresas conhecidas que produzem tintas para artistas e empresas que produzem tintas para decoração.
