color theme

What is the simplest and most professional way to create a color theme of 10+ colors for a book with a different color for each section...?

The most professional way would be to dive into color theory, do your research about the customers, the area the book is about, the publisher's corporate design and the coloring of the illustrations throughout the book (if any). And then come up with something that matches this. There is no simple way.

You are asking in the Illustrator forum. So I hope you will not make a book with that many chapters and pages in Illustrator, right?

[Hendy374084080dng]

No, of course not in illustrator, just the icons.

I took a course on color theory and quite familiar.

It's just so many colors that I need and want to know how to harmonize so many colors professionaly in adobe.

Do you really need that many colors?

Your readers probably won't be able to remember the color of the chapter that deals with a specific subject so color as a navigation aid maybe doesn't work. Then you can still use different colors to differentiate the chapters from each other, but maybe use only 5 or  6 colors and repeat them. 

Are you in any way limited? So is this perhaps some nature or eco publisher or book that only wants to have nature colors or the like?

You will have to watch out that they will look different in print as well. 

Is it just for one book or for a series of books?

It's for one book, a cookbook. think it's best to repeat them?
