 CNN - Books: "Primary Colors" by Joe Klein - April 1, 1998
"Primary Colors" is an unblinking and clever look at a womanizing, doughnut-eating Southerner seeking the presidency, come hell or high water.
The similarities between the book and Clinton Administration are hard to ignore, and a film based on the book captures some of the surface qualities of the current White House.

I'm hardly the first person to note that Klein's publishing his novel anonymously was a clever, sleazy ploy, allowing him to imply that the book was written by someone in a position to know all the dirty laundry, and also permitting him to take liberties that he couldn't with nonfiction.

 Amazon.com: Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics: Books: Anonymous,Joe Klein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Throughout the book, the attention to physical and emotional detail in the draining political process, the sparkling intelligence and-through the use of Henry as hero-the unusual empathy with which a range of African Americans are portrayed suggest a very considerable new novelist.
The concept of this book intrigued me: analysis of the first really postmodern president America had, a man who was known for scanning the polls before he had an opinion on any issue, and a candidate whose success was made possible by computer analysis of voter opinion.
The other salient thing about the book is that it is a clever satire not of one specific administration but the whole way politics is done in our time, the way passion and practicality come together and threaten to do each other harm.

The book is obviously based on the Clinton campaign in 1992 and it has the feel of an inside job.

The human eye is sensitive to broad bands of light wavelengths, and thus the eye is not a spectrometer: it interpolates colors depending which of the three cones are receiving light.
No matter what "color" the object might appear when illuminated with white light it will appear red when the light source is pure red (assuming at least some of the light is reflected instead of absorbed).

 The Art of Logo. Part I: Your Media. Colors - webreference.com
Is it possible to choose one of the colors I've already used for other elements?" Of course the overall impression is your ultimate criterion, but this simple approach will at least prevent you from doing many common mistakes (although, admittedly, it may as well prevent you from finding some cool solutions).
Nevertheless, such a motley color, when used properly, is perceived as a whole by the human eye and does not break color integrity of the design.
For example, it is common to divide all colors into warm (red, yellow) and cool (blue, purple) ones, and if you try to locate them on the color wheel you'll see that all warm colors are simply those to the left from the vertical diameter while the cool ones are to the right.

            Colors can be absorbed through the use of such things as dyes, pigments, or filters.  The color of the clothes that we wear is seen because of color subtraction.  For example, if your friend is wearing a yellow shirt, you see it as yellow because of color subtraction.
 The white light hits the shirt, and the dye of the shirt absorbs the blue part of the spectrum and reflects the red and green.  You then add the red and green together and see the color yellow.
