A book unlike all the others., Nov 9 2007

This review is from: Interior Color by Design: A Tool for Homeowners, Designers, and Architects (Paperback)
I am a professional color consultant and am always looking to refine my skills. This book was much more informative than other books I've read. It tends to be written for the professional as opposed to the average homeowner, though I still recommend it for anyone looking to understand color.
