 Very Bold Color Palette April 2, 2004
36 out of 40 found this review helpful
I just returned this book because I thought the colors were too bold, garish in some cases. For example, imagine a combination of black, salmon pink, and pistachio green. If you are daring this book could work for you. But if you are an all-white-wall person like me, just branching out, I think you better pick another book.
 Helpful Book! February 24, 2004

My wife and I found this book very helpful in choosing colors for our house. We didn't go with any of the combinations in the book, but we were able to pick the color for the house and then came up with our own trim color. The book helped to clarify the process and inspired us to make the right choices.
Amazing Sumptuous Colors January 9, 2004
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
This book was the answer to all of my paint color needs/questions. It's such a waste of time to sift through all the paint chips in the paint store when you can simply use this book. It has, for me, become a "holy grail," listing paint colors that have worked in virtually every room in my house. After painting two rooms, with the help of this book, I felt that I didn't need to worry about choosing paint colors for my unpainted rooms. I trusted from the success of my two freshly painted rooms, that the colors in this book would work.
AND BOY DID THESE COLORS LOOK SUMPTUOUS!
I wish that I could include photos in this review, because words simply cannot describe how beautifully my home turned out. Thank you Bonnie Krims! If you don't want to waste any more of your time laboring over paint chips, try this book. You won't be disappointed.
Brilliant Book! January 8, 2004

I am one of those people who love home decorating, design magazines, TV shows and books. I always seem to get more helpful information and ideas from the magazines than I do from the books that I've read. But then I read this book.
This book is not just georgous photographs, but it is actually is packed with very practical content that I have been able to use with huge success. I feel like I can confidentely choose paint colors and put together a room. My rooms look amazing and I am very gratified. The colors feel very rich, and are not old fashioned or boring. While reading the book, I was constantly having "ahaa" experiences. I felt empowered to go for it. I felt like, "Now I get it. I can do this". I tend to be very picky about decorating. I don't want any loose ends, or lingering doubts about how I decorated a room, or whether the paint color is right or not. Using this book allowed me to feel as if I had "nailed it" in every room that I redid. I love it and recommend it highly! I bought five copies and have already given all away to friends who have bought houses or moved recently...
Great book! November 24, 2003

I am one of those people who had all white walls in their home until I met Bonnie Krims and the Perfect Palette for Painting Rooms. This book is a must for those of us who get frozen at the idea of committing to a single color for a room and trying out different decorating ideas. I've already transformed rooms in my home and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
