Would Like More Photos,
By Virginia Allain "retired librarian" (Poinciana, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interior Color by Design: A Design Tool for Architects, Interior Designers, and Homeowners (Paperback)
This really explained the mysteries of color wheels, chroma and values, monotone color schemes and all the color terms that always mystified me in decorating books.In some cases it was a little difficult to see the range of colors in the photos or the sample rooms were a bit bizarre. That distracted from understanding how a real person could use tetrad or discordant colors. I certainly wouldn't want a room looking like some they showed. Overall it was helpful, I just wanted more room photos showing how some of the color schemes look when applied.

practical (and inspiring) guide,

This review is from: Interior Color by Design: A Design Tool for Architects, Interior Designers, and Homeowners (Paperback)
I went to the public library and looked through dozens of books before choosing three to buy. This was one of the three. The author first introduces color theory -- basic (attributes, temperature, mixing) and advanced (color interaction, hierarchy, proportion, harmony) -- and then moves on to schemes (monotonic, monochromatic, analogous, complementary, discordant). The second (and lengthier) part of the book contains 36 color photographs illustrating the various schemes, each accompanied by more than a few alternative color chip palettes.I learned a lot and enjoyed doing so. Great photos! (The other two books I chose at the library were C. Barnes's Color for Your Home and J. Miller's Color: Period and Regional Style From Around the World.)
