The Color Start a great tool

The color star is a great tool for anyone wanting to understand color and various color schemes

A Great Tool

2007-10-17
Itten's COLOR STAR is a wonderful and useful tool. I wish the price were a bit lower to make it more affordable for students - I would definitely consider adopting it as a tool for my Color courses. Itten's work with color is at once practical, accessible, and sophisticated. The COLOR STAR is a vehicle to experiment with color chords and color schemes, and a means to investigate new color relationships - easy to use, beautifully packaged too. A nice companion to his ART OF COLOR and ELEMENTS OF COLOR.

This is for assistance only

I purchased this with university money - and along with $100 of other Itten books. This has no literature, just the color wheel. Don't expect anything more.

If I were using my personal money for this...forget it, not worth it - google image and print at Kinko's if you just have to have it.

important tool for artists & designers, read his book first

Johannes Ittens is unarguably recognized as the master of color from the Bauhaus school of art. The color star is a valuable asset to any artist or designer that wants to become better with making color choices. However, as any good tool goes the color star by itself won't be much use to you unless you've studied the material presented in one of his books.

Just a set of wheels

Very disappointed by the "book", which actually consists of a set of wheels,
with a 4-page booklet which does not explain much. I returned the book.

Consisting of eight stencil-like disks that can be placed over ltten's color wheel to compare cool and warm values, complementary colors, and different hues and intensities, this useful and innovative tool helps designers explore a myriad of harmonious color.

Study Itten Till You Drop

If you came to me for a job in graphic design and you told me you hadn't studied Itten, I wouldn't hire you. But I'm picky. Please understand who this man is, and understand his philosophy of color. His work is significant.

This an absolute must for all people who work with fibre, paint or just want to understand colour. The ultimate colour wheel.
