[Margo Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although this book was published in 1993 it still offers useful information about the use of colour in interior decoration. Chapters such as Naturals, Lights and Darks, and Painted Surfaces offer insight into how certain colours achieve a paticular ambience as well as how different textures can affect a single colour and so on. The photos accompanying the text are attractive. They depict spaces that are not "over-the-top" but practical.
