 Perfect for what I wantedAug 16, 2010
This book is basically a book of paint samples, arranged together in great combinations that are complementary to each other. If you are re-doing your house, like I am, but aren't great at coming up with color schemes or know kind of what you want to do but aren't sure exactly how to get the look you want, this book will lead the way. This book is a staple on my bookshelf because I'm constantly redecorating. A must have reference book for a decorator of any level of experience.
Yummy combinationsJul 29, 2010
This collection of color combinations works for real people trying to decide what goes with what in a home color scheme. The brief explanations give enough information about how to use the colors together. Both bold and demure schemes--and all points in between--are given. It certainly has helped me with what yellow to paint my kitchen and what brown (or copper?) to paint my living room. It's great for dreaming about what I'd like to paint certain rooms. Who knows? It may also help me plan colors for knitting projects.
This is the bible of color books for meMar 23, 2010
Well written and gives lots of examples of different color choices. Goes into the emotional aspects of color. If you gotta have one book in your library on color make it this one.

A perfect product...Jan 07, 2010
Hello... First of the the concept of the product makes you wonder more about color combination. They had given every detail about the color itself and also the combination choices had been done very well. The only thing is that they didn't make white color combinations although it susits every color but maybe they should tell a few things about white too. But overall a perfect book !
