Editorial Reviews

Review

"The iconic landmarks for which Paris is known the world over rarely feature in the photography of Nichole Robertson - which is precisely what makes her imagery so compelling, irresistible and refreshingly different." - Nicola Williams, Art of the Weekend  

"This is a must-have in your design library as a color reference and for photographic inspiration." -- Design Muse

"A feast of color-coordinated vignettes." -- LuckyMag.com

"From Nichole Robertson, cofounder of the blog and design studio Little Brown Pen, comes Paris in Color, a book that presents the City of Light in all its enchanting hues. Including more than 150 pages of vivid photographs, this volume showcases Parisian design and architecture, its iconic monuments as well as its moments of quiet, accidental splendor. Robertson's work offers readers a color-coordinated tour of her favorite city, lovingly lingering on such staggering details as its scarlet Metro entrances and Wallis-blue doors." -- Lonny magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeously Photographed April 25, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful book. My wife and I last visited Paris 7 years ago. While we visited & enjoyed all of the typical tourist stops, it was our meandering detours through Paris' residential neighborhoods that made our trip so special. We tripped over cafe's, crepe stands, street fairs, parks and many hidden yet wonderful architectural designs. It was also on this trip we discovered my wife was pregnant with our 1st child! Of course while that made our trip extra special - that was our last European vacation alone. So I bought Paris In Color on Amazon (after spying it in an Anthropologie store) as an anniversary gift to my wife. These subtly gorgeous pictures (cleverly divided up by color segments) brought our Paris adventure back to life along with all of the wonderful emotions that we associated with that trip. It made for a very special gift and has inspired us to revisit Paris next year! Bien joué

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchante! April 25, 2012
Format:Hardcover
Paris in Color presents a beautiful and well curated view into every day Paris. There are no cliche images of the Eiffel Tower to be found here. Instead photos of crisp looking baguettes, piles of cheese, flowers from the market, chairs awaiting patrons amongst other everyday French imagery are artfully sectioned off by color. There is a marked absence of people present in these photos which allow the viewer a quiet snapshot of French life. This book is a colorful, visual delight!
