5.0 out of 5 stars
At last... colors that are ALIVE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Color (Hardcover)
Are you tired of shuffling and comparing paint sample cards and agonizing over coordinating a palette, finally selecting what looks like the closest match only to find the colors you selected look positively DEAD on your walls?This book will explain why. The concepts behind Kaufman's color palettes really open up a whole new world of color. If you never took an art class (or even if you did), you'll treasure this book because it explains very simply the basic problem with off-the-shelf paint colors and why, no matter what you choose, they have no life to them. There is even a chapter at the end of the book that shows how to mix and select your OWN palettes. Anyone wanting a refreshing outlook on using color in home decorating will find this book essential reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars
the best book on color for interiors on the market,
By A Customer
This review is from: Color (Hardcover)
As an artist, I believe this book is, by far, the very best book on color for home/office interiors on the market. I have gotten so frustrated at paint stores as the language usually spoken there is very different than that of visual artists. Alas, Donald Kaufman has filled the gap! An intelligent, stunning book that reaches a place in my spirit that Martha Stewart couldn't reach........right up there with the recent book by Suzanne Butterfield, using Kaufman's color system.

3.0 out of 5 stars
I was a little disappointed....,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Color (Hardcover)
that there wasn't more info on what pigments the author used to create the colors for each of his beautiful palettes .I later found on the web that he sells his paints (called, surprisingly enough, the Donald Kaufman Color Collection) for $40 to $75 per gallon. They are available only through the Color Factory (Englewood, NJ) or Painter's Supply (Santa Monica, CA). Other than that, a beautiful book with plenty of pictures and in-depth discussion of each house. |
