Color Style: How to Identify the Colors That Are for Your Home

Rating:
Summary: fun and informative
Review: I found lots of pictures I liked in this book, which is my most important criteria for liking any design book. The scheme of breaking color groups down into fire/water/air/etc. made sense and was fun to play around with.

I wish there had been more photos and also that some of the ideas in the book had been taken farther. For instance: a quiz helps you pick if you're drawn to warm or cold colors, but doesn't say anything for someone like me, who scored an even 50/50 on it. Little is said, too, about merging different color groupings in the same house. The Water grouping is "peaceful and relaxing" and the Minerals are "intense and dramatic" -- surely I'm not the only person who might like a dramatic living room in the same house as my peaceful bathroom?
