Facsimile book of the original (226 pages)

In 1890, Charles Lacouture published one of the masterpieces in the history of the use of color. “Répertoire chromatique : solution raisonnée et pratique des problèmes les plus usuels dans l’étude et l’emploi des couleurs : vingt-neuf tableaux en chromos, représentant 952 teintes différentes & définies groupées en plus de 600 gammes typiques” *
 
Charles Lacouture developed a unique system using the three primary colors (red, blue and yellow). The “Trilobe synoptique” or three-ear construction he created is a method of altering color tones by varying the thickness of the lines, without changing the actual inks used.
 
This approach suggests an innovative way of creating a range of colors within a specific color space, possibly using stroke techniques to achieve different color perceptions rather than relying solely on mixing different ink colors. It is interesting to note that he focused on generating color fields using these basic colors as a base.
 
The book includes 29 charts presented in chromos  (chromolithographs ) representing 952 different and defined color tones. These shades are grouped into more than 600 typical color ranges. 
 “Répertoire Chromatique” offers a structured approach to color theory, providing readers with a visual representation of a wide range of colors and their relationships. This type of resource is immensely valuable for artists, designers and anyone working with colors in a creative or practical context.
 
A reasoned and practical solution to the most common problems in the study and use of colors. 
 
Charles Lacouture (1832 – 1908) was professor at the ”Institut Saint-Clément” in Metz. This rare study is dedicated to the great 19th c. French colour theoretician Chevreul. Lacouture proposes here , with the use of the three primary colours, a practical method to implement Chevreul’s colour theories in art and colour printing.
 
*”Chromatic repertory: reasoned, practical solutions to the most common problems in the study and use of colors: twenty-nine chromo charts, representing 952 different & defined shades grouped into over 600 typical ranges.”

Keeping, but they do make me hot.
Color: 02 - Blue, Size: Standard(20x26)
Very soft and cooling at first, but they do get hot during the night. So bad that my face sticks to the pillowcase.

LOVE THESE...have multiple sets!
Color: 02 - Blue, Size: Standard(20x26)
Must have for hot sleepers. Purchased for my cooling pillows and they are fantastic. Zipper keeps them on the slippery pillows and stretchy material will fit large, over-sized pillows. The soft, silky material feels great on my skin and has helped keeping my hair smooth. No more bed head! Easy to launder and I highly recommend.

Lightweight material that helps stay cool
Color: 02 - Blue, Size: Standard(20x26)
Really like these, but dont see the sheets made from the same material available anymore and thats disappointing Thin polyester almost spandex material that is very light and breathable so it keeps you cool and its stretchy and soft as well so I think they are comfortable, would like to have an extra set or two so its easier to rotate/wash, but they wash/dry quickly, not sure how well they will hold up long term, but only use them in the summer so hopefully they will last awhile

Sleek shear soft cool zippered pillow cases
Color: 07 - Green, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I'm a huge fan of bamboo fabric. It feels great to wear and so it also feels good to sleep on, especially during hot and or humid spells. Pillowcases came in a pack of 2 and were well packaged and arrived undamaged. Shipping was very fast. Cases appear to be well made. they are a lovely soft green which is perfect for a restful bedroom setup. As expected the fabric is soft and relaxing against the skin, it seems to retain a cooler feel than cotton.Bamboo tends to be a thinner fabric that is light and once damp, dries pretty quickly. Perfect for folks who run hot normally and need extra cooling during the summer or people who sweat at nigh. Cases are zippered and zippers worked well and appear nicely sewn in and decent quality. At night, slept very well. I think this is a good product and like the price point a lo. Will be looking to get another set very soon!
