Exceptionally thorough. ― Reno and Decor Published On: 2012-12-01
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 Published On: 2013-10-07
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 Published On: 2019-05-24
