Hi Mischa, I've spent quite a bit of time in both of Speed's books. And plan to re-read them again. I have four of your six "must have" books. I'll have to check out the others.

When I was in school I read everything about color that I could find. The books I ended up buying were "Itten -The Elements of Color." (I have the condensed version edited by Faber Birren.) and "Color," by Betty Edwards. I also read "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green," by Michael Wilcox; which was good if I remember right. I've read a couple of Helen VanWyke's books on color too.

I made the charts that Richard Schmid recommends in one of his books (which I can't remember the name of) and I think that helped me more than anything else. But if I had to recommend one "must have" book I think it would be Betty Edwards' book because of it's simplicity.
