Selecting a paint color, whether for a home's exterior or the bedroom walls, can feel like a perilous venture. For good reason. Like no other aspect of our environment, color has the power to profoundly affect our feeling of well-being. And taste in color is an extremely personal matter: to choose a color—a saturated red, an understated ochre, a sizzling-hot pink—is to say something revealing about oneself. It's no wonder that committing to a color demands an act of bravery.
With Color at Home, the Echo Design Group's Meg and Steven Roberts aim to inspire and encourage you to jump into the exhilarating world of color. Illustrated with more than 150 images of color-infused homes across the country, the book will bolster your courage as you develop a color vision for your own home.
Color at Home insightfully explores the emotional territory mapped by each hue—aqua's refreshing oasis; orange's warm radiance; the stark, urbane chic of black and white—while providing essential practical advice on topics such as coordinating colors with a home's architectural style or historical period. The innovative color grids included in the book help you define your preferred palette.

Color at Home: Creating Style with Paint
Spotted this at the library and loved the cover. The cover was the best part, though. I did appreciate that the book is divided into chapters focusing on a single color, but the cover works so well because it is different colors visible at once, interacting with each other. I suppose my dream house would have each room a different bright color, so you can see another color through any doorway. The text of this book tended toward the hokey, peppering the photos with unnecessary phrases like "the giddy extravagance of youth" and "nights in white satin." Still, nice eye candy.
Also, as I've been paging through more decorating books, I've realized that interior design books can succeed or fail based not on the featured design itself, but the quality of lighting in the photographs.
Of note:
Honey-colored arched bookcases on p. 64
Purple accent wall on p. 78
Aqua walls/white trim combo on p. 101
(Gatorade bottles do not make good decoration, p. 144)
Collage of blurry photos on p. 163
Palettes section, p. 200
