A new decade in the history of computer graphics has brought lowered cost, higher technical quality, and faster color display equipment to screen images, slides, overheads, video, and paper. Alas, many users and an occasional vendor have acknowledged that very few people understand how to use color well for communicating information, for convincing persuasion, and for increasing aesthetic appeal. Several recent authors have attempted to fill in the lacunae of practical experience and theoretical knowledge that trouble many users of computer graphics equipment of designing user interfaces, electronic documents, and knowledge visualizations. The bibliography of this review lists several recent sources other than the book commented in this article, Jan V. White's Color for the Electronic Age.
