book about synthesizing pigments/colour chemistry? (x-post r/chemistry)

title basically.. i'm looking for a really good book that covers everything about most of the (all of the) pigments known to man if there is something like that. i only found a handful of books in the interwebs, but they don't seem to cover what i'm looking for (introduction to colours in general, synthesis, use, preparations, mixing them to get oil/acrylic/... colours out of pigments, tips&tricks, and so on...).

anybody got a tip?

these are 2 books i found, although i'm not sure if they are exactly what i'm looking for:

and

http://www.amazon.de/Experimentieren-mit-Pigmenten-Farben-anmischen/dp/3332014919

/edit: this is another book i found like 10 mins ago http://www.amazon.de/Complete-Book-Natural-Dyes-Pigments/dp/8178330326
