Product Description
From Booklist
What a cool idea for the color challenged among us. Design expert Starmer claims to have sifted through 16 million color possibilities to produce 200 combinations fit for a king and queen and their royal family. The up-front introductions simply whet the appetite, from an abbreviated discourse on the color wheel to two all-too-short ideas on gathering inspiration by creating scrapbooks or a mood board. Then come the palette choices, separated into nine hues. Each individual palette features eight hues: one main with three variations, along with an overview and mood; room applications (e.g., living room or kitchen); ideas for accents; and highlights, whether for balance or contrast. The only issue? Too many selections--and too few ways to cross-index and cross-reference. Barbara Jacobs

An invaluable designer tool,
By Curlze (NWT Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Color Scheme Bible: Inspirational Palettes for Designing Home Interiors (Hardcover-spiral)
This book is fantastic. If you buy one color book, make it this one. Both fresh and traditional color combinations are suggested. I took this book to my local design/home improvement store and they were so impressed that they purchased one for store use as well.The only downside is trying to match the paint colors to the chips in the store, but if you have the patience, this book is worth it's weight in gold.
