From the Publisher
The aim of this book has been to guide the artist away from poor, often harmful colors towards the more worthwhile. In this context 'harmful' refers to the damage likely to be caused to a painting after exposure to light. Too often the artist puts enormous creative energy into a piece of work without realising that certain colors used will ensure its eventual distruction. There is no need whatsoever for this situation to exist.
