Summary: A refreshing take on color for interiors
Comment: This book looks at color in interior design from an entirely different perspective from most books on the subject. Each section outlines a different style of home, from historical to regional. It tells you the exact color palette for each style. Most of the book deals with historical styles, and I'm more interested in the regional syles than the historical ones, but it's still a fascinating subject. It's also very helpful when it comes to chosing a color palette for one's home.

Summary: brilliant
Comment: I went to the public library and looked through dozens of books on color in interior design before choosing three to buy, and this was one of the three. The author first discusses the history of color then makes presentations of varying length to showcase a number of historical (Georgian, Colonial, Rococo, Neoclassical, Victorian, Modernist and Post-Modern), national/regional (Tuscan, Mexican, Moroccan and Shaker) and predominant color (red, yellow, blue, green) schemes. Multiple examples are illustrated by sumptuous photographs, and palettes are included for each.

A concluding chapter on traditional sources of color is very interesting, and supplemental material includes a glossary; a directory to paint suppliers, places to visit, places to stay, and architects & designers; and an index.

(The other two books I chose at the library were J. Poore's Interior Color by Design and C. Barnes's Color for Your Home.)
