i lve this book! It gives a good basic understanding for composing colors as well as the meaning and mood behind each color palette. It is also giving us explanation what is harmounious colors and complimentary colors. I also love the idea to practice looking at colors composition at our everyday life by looking at things around us. We can also make a scrapbooking for it as well as mood board. I enjoy browsing the book, i probably will think of buying it. Good to read!

Part III of my home decor education. Although this book wasn't quite what I expeted it to be (it was cover-to-cover color palettes, and that's it) I enjoyed it quite a bit. To see the whole spectrum of shades and potential coordinating colors was fascinating, and I learned a lot about color. I would highly recommend this book if you're considering painting any room in your house and you're unsure about how to use color.
This book really helped my husband and I visualize what a room painted in these colors would look like. And everyone who's seen our house seems to love the colors we used! I recommend it if, like us, you have a hard time choosing which colors will go well together.
I painted houses for years and learned a lot about what colors work together. If you don't have years of painting experience then this book will help you use color without being affraid of regret. Much easier than swatches.
At a loss as to what colors to use to redecorate a room? Pick up this handy guide for inspiration
The only color scheme book I'll ever need.

Many many ideas and color combinations to explore.
For anyone who ever needs direction in decorating I recommend this book above all others. I love color almost too much and this book keeps me reigned in.
Great. Best color book I could find at Barnes and Noble. Then I checked it out of the library and picked new living room colors.
It is an excellent book that teaches how to combine colors of walls, furniture, chandeliers, etc.
in different rooms of a house.

Good book, not sure I learn anything from it, but very handy for taking to Home depot for color swatches
I gawk at this one. It fills me with wicked house envy.
