 Just what I needed! June 20, 2008
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.
Outstanding, and talk about useful! June 15, 2008
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.
 not bad, but not that useful to me May 16, 2008

I didn't find this book to be very useful. It's got a lot of color schemes, but for some reason I didn't really like any of them. Why, I don't know, but there you have it.
Wonderful Guide! Essential book for upcoming interior designers! February 8, 2008

This is a must have tool for upcoming interior designers or ID students. It is so easy to use and great color combos!! It helps take the guess work out of wondering if this color goes with that color. It would also be great for anyone redesigning or building a home--for the do-it-yourself homeowner. It also gives you suggestions for which rooms that a certain scheme would work the best. Great book...will keep it in my collection for years to come!
 Okay - but I could use one thing.... November 5, 2007

I just got this book today and I'm on my second spin thru it. What I've come to realize is that I'd find it so much more helpful if the book included pics of rooms w/the actual colors in each palette.
Otherwise, it's okay. I probably wouldn't have paid $20 for it if I'd been able to flip thru it first at a bookstore.
