Colors For Your Every Mood

I have been thoroughly enjoying learning about the disparate ways colors effect our lives and moods! I love exploring my own relationship to others as well as how I can use color in my space to create the perfect environment for my personality. Awesome book!!

This book is very good in learning about colors AND how colors temper the view of other colors. It was very enlightening and I am pleased with the content. I am not pleased that Amazon advertised a softcover book as a hardcover book. It just isn't. I returned the first one for that reason, but I just don't have the patience to deal with it again. By the way, the Cesar return kiosk is a blast! It was sooooo totally easy to return the first book and I really enjoyed the experience. Oh dear, talking to a machine doesn't bode well for my mental health, but I enjoyed it anyway, so who cares!

It's a book I'm sure I'll read over and over again. Learned a lot about color in general and what colors work for me in particular.

I was a bit dissappointed in this book, for two main reasons and several minor ones.As a usability professional, I had bought it for the psychophysical effects of color on humans. This was my mistake, it does not advertise itself for this but was recommended to me for this purpose by another individual. It does have some of this, but inconsistantly. As I am interested in color both jobwise and for decorating, I read it regardless.COLORS WERE OFF IN CHIPS FOR PREFERENCE CHECK: The major thing I find fault with, was the color chips it uses in its test for personal preference, were poor representatives of the colors it was meant to represent. Ironically, there is a disclaimer on the book that this may not be a true representation, but I would think a book about color preferences should go out of its way to be sure this is done well. All the color chips appeared to be washed out. As I do not like pastels, I feel this "colored" my impressions significantly. Also I feel some were quite a bit off either too much yellow or green etc.INDIVIDUAL COLOR SUBTOPICS INCONSISTENT: The other major complaint I has was that under the specific color topics (there were 11), the subtopics were inconsistent. If I wanted to compare the physiological responses of Red to that of Brown for instance, I would be out of luck as the subtopics from one color to another were not consistent. Some had one type of information and another had others. I also found the information provided on each color to be more of just a memory dump of information on each color and not necessarily entirely pertinent or stuff I would really want to know.COLOR COMBINATION EXAMPLES NOT NEAR DISCUSSIONS: Another thing I found particularly frustrating is that examples of color combinations showing various moods were interspersed in the book, and not near the discussion. It made is hard to compare and you were always turning pages.COLOR MOOD DISCUSSIONS SHOWED NAMES INSTEAD OF COLORS: Besides having the examples not near the color mood discussions, there were names of colors used, that weren't even repeated in the examples or elsewhere in the book. I did not check all, but the several I did check this was the case. If nothing else even the RGB equivalents would have helped. Maybe these were Pantone names (it didn't indicate this), but unless you have a chart this would not help.PUTTING THE COLOR MOOD EXAMPLES INTERSPERSED IN THE BOOK WAS CONFUSING TO THE AREA IT WAS PLOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF: Even when reading, since you would read the first part on color moods before that of the individual colors, it was confusing when you ran into the color mood discussions while reading about a specific color that it was not pertinent to. On top of that in order to refer back to the color mood examples, you had to find their discussion area to find their page numbers instead of being able to refer just to a specific area to go back to. I used post it note tabs to keep track, but I shouldn't have to.This book could've been so much more. It suffered poor execution in the colors and bad organization.

I waited eagerly for this book, (I knew when Lee was writing it), and am so glad it's out!! I finally have something to help me pull things together. I love colors, but haven't been a visionary when it comes to utilizing these wonderful palettes. This book helps me to see what I can do with my favorites. Currently we're live in military housing, with all sorts of shades of off-white (from the tile floor, to the countertops to the walls and everything in between!), so I can't wait to get into our own home again, and put these ideas to practice. Thank you, Lee for this wonderful help!! It will be just like having you here with me!!

I had read Lee's book "Alive with Color" which shows how to pick colors that you wear. From this I was able to save time and money in purchasing clothes that worked for me. Her new book moves into your environment and helps you create the type of atmosphere that you want to have surround you in your daily living. To me Lee is an expert on color and as an artist I have found it very helpful to view colors in other ways that she has expressed in both of her books.It is easy to follow and is a must for anyone wishing to create the atmosphere they desire.

I could not relate to the book as the images within the book were outdated.

Libro diferentes opciones de paleta de color basado en los estados de ánimo.Lo suficiente técnico para entender los principios y muchas paletas para seleccionar ser un libro también muy practico.
