I am slowly colorizing a newer off-white condo. I have about a million paint charts in a drawer, and I frequently pull them out and ponder colors, and occasionally I pick out a color and paint a room. I recently borrowed this book from the library, and now I'm buying my own copy. It's a timeless resource on color schemes because it's based on colors found in nature.

The book highlights six schemes - arctic, ocean, forest, earth, desert and kaleidoscope (kaleidoscope is not based on nature). Each scheme is introduced with outdoor photographs, then the color schemes are moved indoors and translated into home decor. The results are awesome, and have really helped me focus my color choices.

I am an artist who understands and loves color. Paint is a wonderful example of explaining color to creative people and to others who do not understand color. The book is rich and exciting to the eye. It's a fun and different way to illustrate color while educating! I love this book. Very stimulating. The photography is gorgeous!!!

Elizabeth Hilliard and Stafford Cliff's Paint: Big Book Of Natural Color covers the new colors and finishes available to modern decorators, showing how these modern interiors can be transformed through a variety of innovative paint choices. Beautiful color photos abound.
