Design author and broadcaster McCloud presents home decorators both professional and amateur with 60 color combinations for achieving various effects in the home. The pallets are all themed-- those in the first section each work with a different pure color. The remaining sections explore period colors, natural, simple, complex, and vibrant pallets. Each combination is exemplified in a photograph and includes color swatches. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Any hardware store has more than enough paint chips to utterly confuse both homeowners and designers. Choosing Colors makes choosing just the right colors simple and rewarding. Internationally acclaimed designer Kevin McCloud has created an invaluable sourcebook packed with his personal tips and ideas on using more than 1,000 color chips presented in over 80 palettes. Each palette is a blueprint for a decorative plan, and the stunning full-color photos show those remarkable plans in action. For greatest color accuracy, the entire book is printed in six colors rather than the usual four. All swatches are identified with manufacturers numbers, and a complete list of suppliers rounds out this beautiful, indispensable reference book.
