I have space to recommend a single color theory book in a magazine article I'm putting together. Any opinions as to which one I should include would be very much appreciated.

Josef Albers - 'Interaction of colour'...

Both good books, but I'd have to go with Johannes Itten as colour science is a deep and not the most interesting of subjects, I found Itten to be a little less taxing on the brain than the Albers book which I bought recently and haven't really started reading it, well, I read the first chapter and thought maybe later, but in it's defence it does have lots exercises...
If you stopped reading about half way through the sh*te I just spewed...

I'll check out the itten book as the albrs one is a bit, erm, poloneck.

Itten's book was one that I was considering, and judging by the response, it's the one to go for. Thank you for your replies.
