"1"x1" tiles of color flood the book to help you get a feel for color and what might work in your own home. Useful color index in the back of the book shows colors by shade. Lovely photos give you an idea of how the color can work in a designscape. Still trying to pick a color for my rooms. Wish there was more help about how to combine colors in rooms too."
"This is a pleasant little book full of 300+ paint swatches. Each swatch is accompanied by a (usually) insipid comment from a designer who has used it. Every other page shows a room decorated in a selected color (which it would be nice to have more of, because it introduces lighting conditions, furniture, trim, etc.). The book finishes with a room-by-room color index and a shade-by-shade index. A caveat is that color reproductions of paint and swatches are notoriously difficult to get right; the swatch they show for Benjamin Moore November Rain, which I used in my living room, is not even close to being accurate. Way, way off. The Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue, however, a very popular color, looks pretty on target."
"I was excited about this book. I just bought my first home and it needs a lot of painting; I love color but don't trust my instincts for what will look good on a wall. The concept of the book is great, but I found it a little frustrating. Most of the colors are shown only in small squares, which gives a reader very little sense of what they will look like in rooms (the colors that are shown in rooms tend to look quite different from their chips, which leads me to believe this is an important distinction). Additionally annoying is the fact that most of the colors I liked are no longer produced by the paint companies listed. The book was published in 2008, so after only a year it's already not as useful as it should be. It's a good starting point and a great idea, but would work better on the Web, where discontinued colors could be removed and new colors added as necessary. Bottom line: glad I borrowed this from the library instead of shelling out money for it."
"This is the book I've been waiting for my whole life! It's a compilation of color suggestions from designers about what colors worked for them, with explanations of how they look in a room. If you are looking to paint a room in your house, this will narrow down your choices to some tried and true shades and lessen your chances of making a big mistake. Now I want to repaint every room in my house!"
