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.”

Unraveling thread, not worth the money
Size: Medium, Color: Bright Red
The quality just keeps getting worse, especially the threading unraveling even when I tried sewing it back. 0/10

Breathable, Comfy Fabric with Excellent Support
Size: X-Large, Color: Emerald Green
I'm sixty-three, 5'2 height, and I wear a size 14. I do 3-4 intermediate Pilates sessions each week. I wear black capri yoga pants and a black racer back top of natural fabric, but I add a bit of color with the sports bra. I was very impressed by the fit of this bra; the fabric is soft, breathable, and the bra design offers excellent support. I removed the tag because it was itchy, but I will purchase at least 2 more of these.

Over all great bra
Size: Medium, Color: Black
This is a great sports bra. The material is very soft, very close to aerie offline softness, its padded and very supportive. I gave 4 stars only bc there isn't alot of stretch. I wear a 34 -36 DD. For reference im 5'8 and weigh 165 pounds. I have a muscular build. The bra fits good but getting it over the girls is a struggle dry, I am imagining it will be a two person job to remove after a workout when covered in sweat. That being said the support it provides is amazing so I will buy more. Not a deal breaker. I got the black and bright blu color is just as pictured and doesn't bleed.

Seriously buttery soft and love the fit/color!
Size: Medium, Color: Emerald Green
I am obsessed with the fabric on this sports bra—it really does live up to the "buttery soft" name. I bought it for yoga and lounging, and it’s honestly comfortable enough to wear all day without feeling restricted. The square neck is super flattering and gives it a more stylish look than a typical sports bra. It fits true to size and the racerback doesn't dig into my shoulders at all. If you’re looking for a Lulu-level feel without the crazy price tag, this is a total win!
