Index / Credits Review Quotes: I LOVE this book and often use it for color inspirations. It is not a visual artists book per se but rather intended for interior designers. Do not let that deter you from buying this little handy gem. It has loads of color combos that work in fabulous exciting ways to punch up your paintings and other art projects. I have been using it a LOT lately in my mixed media portrait paintings and metal work prisma color pendants.-- "Bella Marcella Blog" (10/7/2013 12:00:00 AM) Review Quotes: No list about colour design resources would be complete without a book with that kind of title. Starmer was right in naming her book a 'bible': this thing is huge. Be prepared to be blissfully overwhelmed by colour and design inspiration... Covering areas like how colour contributes to creating a certain atmosphere to how it can give the illusion of space and depth, there's nothing we don't like about The Colour Scheme Bible.-- "FibreGuard Blog" (5/24/2019 12:00:00 AM) Publisher Marketing: 100,000 sold in hardcover It's hard to imagine a more comprehensive look at color scheme possibilities. What a cool idea for the color challenged among us... 200 combinations fit for a king and queen and their royal family. When it comes to decorating, the endless color choices available are enough to overwhelm the most determined home decorator. The Color Scheme Bible solves that problem, and with hardcover sales of 100,000 its value is well proven. This lay-flat paperback edition is sure to be an equally popular choice.
