This book is a technical manual for the painter and generally for the decorator. It describes tools such as brushes, rollers, scrapers, and other equipment such as paint guns, as well as methods for the protection and painting of materials, namely wood, plaster, metals, with coatings and other processes.

From the following, it is clear that coloring is not just a change of color for the visual enhancement of our environment, but also a means of preserving valuable materials such as walls, frames, furniture, vehicles, and agricultural machinery.

What the painter mainly needs is knowledge of the materials he uses and the safety measures he must apply to protect his health and life, as well as that of his coworkers.

At the end of the book, it mentions the method of creating colors and the functioning of eyes, as well as ways to express colors using numerical codes and color composition with computers. (from the author's preface)
