Customer Reviews

great book!

This is the book I had been looking for for many weeks... I found it very comprehensive. Being not too technical (there are other books on the how-to), it gave me great ideas on what techniques are possible and what the implications of a chosen color might be. i had never thought of mixing paint myself! i like the fact that it's has a separate section on each major color, and that it includes detailed thoughts on color therapy and feng shui. the swatches at the end are great to work with. the only negative comment i have to make is on the color mixes photos... most of the combinations don't look pleasant to my eye. overall, i truly recommend this book!

Each color is explained and also the color is discussed in feng shui terms as wellas color therpy terms. A must for anyone who is interested in pursuing color a little further.
