1: Dissappointed
Was really looking forward to this book as all the reviews were so positive. My wife and I wanted to get some color scheme ideas for our new house. Unfortunately i just was not that impressed with the schemes laid out in the 'bible'.

2: Great Resource for the Color-Challenged!
This book gave me the courage to paint the crown molding in my master bedroom a color other than white! And, wow, what a difference. Plus, the book provided me with an entire color scheme for the room: sheets, flooring, pillows, etc.
You can use the book in two ways: choose a scheme and follow it religiously or use a scheme as a jumping-off point. Either way, you can't lose. This book is well worth my $30 investment.

3: Insightful Bliss...
I found this book to be informative and very easy to relate to. As I had purchased this title along with another great book, Your Home A Living Canvas: Create Stunning Faux Finishes & Murals with Paint - to gain as much insight into using color to cozy up my old home. Both books far exceeded my expectations, as both authors explain in detail the impact particular tones have upon a space. The warm and inviting interiors featured in these titles offer the reader much inspiration and visual reference to borrow from. Highly recommended for those wanting to discover the secrets to using vibrant color to transform the drab to the fabulous!!!!!

4: Just what I needed!
I love this book. It's just what I was looking for...a book that put together color schemes as opposed to the standard color rooms with white trim. More photos would have been even better.

5: Outstanding, and talk about useful!
Ever gone to a paint store, and stood there goggling at all the hundreds and hundreds of choices, totally unable to decide?
Here is a book to help you.
Starmer arranges the book in chapters about color. In the chapter on red, she lists everything from cranberry and magenta to antique pink and coral. Then, and this is what is so useful, under each individual color she shows two colors chosen to match the main color perfectly, plus two other minor colors to use as accents. In addition, she talks about whether the colors lean towards soothing or drama, and whether they work best in linen or silk. Talk about making things easy.
