Frankly, I didn't like most of the palettes used in this book. Categorized as Modern, Art deco, Asian and Industrial - I'm not sure why these categories were the only ones used. But, it was still helpful to see the how the specificity of the colors chosen create a mood even when the patterns are particularly moving either.
