A gorgeous book!

With so many color combinations from which to choose, this book is sure to provide a solution for any room. All the photographs - and there are many! - are so beautiful and creative. This book will inspire many decorating ideas, even beyond color.

Look No Further For Help!

I Love this book. If you have trouble putting just the right colors together, this book will show you how subtle changes in shades within a color can make a difference, as well as how to put together whole color schemes. If you know what you like, but don't know how to "get there" this book will give you lots of ideas to experiment with before you even paint your first coat of color. It also made me think about combinations I wouldn't have put together on my own. I definitely recommend this book.

Finally, some help!

This is the book I've been waiting for! It helps tie everything together, answers all my color/decorating-related questions and the result is a colorful decorating creation that makes me want to work this magic on every single room in the house! What a great gift idea, too! Well-written, lots of pictures and a one-of-a-kind primer for someone like me!

Coloring Your Life Just Got Better

Ms. Wax's book is a treasure for home decorators that love to play with color. She introduces color in so many different ways in the home and encourages her readers to experiment with different palates. There is also a fascinating discussion of people's perception of color and how it affects the choices in the home. The book's spiral binding, makes it quite user friendly while referencing and reading it. When I picked up the book, I immediately began to envision some new projects that I wanted to start working on, and in the colder months it takes a lot to get me motivated.
