The
Perfect Palette:
50 Inspired Color Plans for Every Room In Your Home
By Bonnie Rosser Krims
(Warner Books, 1998) |
The Perfect Palette takes the guesswork out
of choosing paint colors for your rooms.
|
Each of its fifty illustrated recipes offers
a perfectly matched set of colors--three main colors for use on
walls, furniture and accessories, and the recommended trim color.
Paint reference numbers from the major manufacturers are included--so
you will never need to labor over a paint chip display again. Not
only will your rooms be original and attractive, they will become
places that make us feel good.
The book features 50 color schemes, or recipes,
inspired by art and nature, each conveying a different mood. One
recipe, (such as the ever popular "Lacecap Hydrangea")
may evoke tranquility, while another recipe (such as "Cleopatra")
may stimulate and excite. With a format similar to that of a cookbook,
The Perfect Palette includes all the ingredients to create beautifully
painted rooms. It comes with illustrations, glorious color photographs
and quotations from the arts. You will also find guidance on choosing
furnishings and accessories to go with your new colored walls.
With practical advice on how to paint a room,
a cross-reference color chart to three major paint brands, and a
special section on "tuning in" to color, this book is
an effortless guide to selecting the Perfect Palette.
