The use of color in anatomical and surgical illustration

This segment on color usage in medical illustration concerns itself with formulas and instruction for the coloration of skin tones, internal organs, and selected body tissues. Color formulas which have been gleaned from both subjective observation and experimentation are suggested. These are based on artwork which has been produced and accepted by knowledgeable surgeons, medical publishers, and numerous medical illustrators and which has been deemed acceptable within that arbitrary and personal range recognized as "normal".
