I Love this book. If you have trouble putting just the right colors together, this book will show you how subtle changes in shades within a color can make a difference, as well as how to put together whole color schemes. If you know what you like, but don't know how to "get there" this book will give you lots of ideas to experiment with before you even paint your first coat of color. It also made me think about combinations I wouldn't have put together on my own. I definitely recommend this book.

I love this book it is a great help for color coordination both inside the house and outside. It it is worth every penny I payed for it. I would highly recommend it to anyone, both amateur and professional decorators. It really helped me out, I can't say enough good things about it but to say I think is a great book.

Clothes may not make the man, but color sure makes the room, doesn't it?
If you respond intensely to color, as I do, but have no idea what turns you on or turns you off, this book is the handy guide you want (even the way it's bound, in a spiral, like every cookbook should be but isn't).
Amy Wax's book is indispensable for anyone choosing colors in decorating or, especially, as we used it for, to guide you through a major renovation. After all, you spend thousands to redo a room, so why not spring for 13 bucks (now at Amazon) to guide you through the crucial decisions on color? After all, isn't that what everyone comments on?

This book isn't what we expected. It was like a color chart you can pick up at the paint shop. It did not tell us what colors go well together, However there were pictures of rooms and they explained what were in the pictures. We were still confused about what to choose for our home. Eventually we looked at the nice pictures and ended up getting a paint chart at the paint shop and doing it the old way!

This book is an excellent resource for people who enjoy colors but are afraid to decorate their homes with color. Can't Fail Color Schemes is a great tool for amateur decorators, homeowners who don't want to make mistakes painting their homes and professional decorators who are looking for an update in their traditional color palets. This volume is easy to use, is chocked full of wonderful illustrative room settings and a "must-have" for anyone looking to transform their house into their home.

What a fantastically written book. Everything is so well designed. It is easy to use and a big help in understanding how to work with color. Everyone should have a copy if their own.

This is the book I've been waiting for! It helps tie everything together, answers all my color/decorating-related questions and the result is a colorful decorating creation that makes me want to work this magic on every single room in the house! What a great gift idea, too! Well-written, lots of pictures and a one-of-a-kind primer for someone like me!

Ms. Wax's book is a treasure for home decorators that love to play with color. She introduces color in so many different ways in the home and encourages her readers to experiment with different palates. There is also a fascinating discussion of people's perception of color and how it affects the choices in the home. The book's spiral binding, makes it quite user friendly while referencing and reading it. When I picked up the book, I immediately began to envision some new projects that I wanted to start working on, and in the colder months it takes a lot to get me motivated.
