Chose this book because I am redecorating my bedroom and want to take bigger and bolder color risks. This definitely checked that box and will come in handy! Easy to read and understand.
I have always been drawn to the color Orange. So much so that whenever anyone asks what my favorite color is, the answer is always Orange. There is a beauty to colors and this book had me appreciating how colors can complement each other-and in a way it reminded me of what it means to have details, analysis and information in one place-plus the picturesque of Pinterest.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in colors, in art, in creating a balance between them be it at home, work or just for the purposes of information. Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
This was a fun read. I especially liked the descriptions of the basic colors. Really colorful with great pictures.
As might be expected from the title, this book is visually STUNNING!! The range of interest in this book will be large and varied, as the use of colour will be relevant to those in advertising, fashion, psychology and art (surely also many more whom I have not thought of).
I was motivated to pick up the book with a view to inspiring me in artistic projects, and I feel I have learned plenty about colour from a number of different applications from this book (for example how to choose colour on the basis of the mood I want to create, to which colours work together and why.
I found the inclusion and explanation of the colour wheel particularly useful and worthy of note.
Overall this is a book with a wide appeal, I would be proud to display this beautiful work on my coffee table!
My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.
Impressive and interesting book with stunning photos, colours, vivid and harmonious colour combinations. I will keep consulting this and recommend it.
