Description
Colour, Colour Measurement and Colour Change by David Saunders is an essential introduction to the science behind colour in conservation. This comprehensive guide explains how colours are perceived, measured, and changed, providing a clear understanding of these concepts for conservators with no scientific background. The book delves into the ways colours can alter over time, including darkening, yellowing, fading, blanching, and patination, and illustrates these changes in various cultural heritage materials such as metals, varnishes, plastics, textiles, and paints. It also explores strategies for reducing colour change in storage and display settings, particularly in relation to light, damp, and pollutants. Suitable for students in conservation programmes and practising conservators alike, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding the science of colour in conservation.
