Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Eiseman (Alive with Color, LJ 6/15/83) presents a comprehensive reference for the amateur and professional to use in choosing color schemes for interior decorating. She provides ways to identify responses to color, looks at color's use in creating a mood, and provides different settings that can help inspire color choices. The psychological, sociological, and historical meaning of each color is then detailed, as is its use in particular rooms. A good companion to The Color Book: 11,264 Color Combinations for Your Home (LJ 1/98); highly recommended for all interior design collections and public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great color resource, October 24, 2001
By A Customer
This is an excellent book, written by someone who is truly a “color expert.” After reading this book, you’ll be able to select a color scheme to create an intended effect. In my opinion, one of the most helpful aspects of this book was Ms. Eiseman’s list of 15 neutral colors listed on page 59. It’s easy for most of us to pick one or two colors that go together pretty well, but after that things get pretty confusing. These 15 neutral colors, which go with absolutely any color scheme, are wonderful for selecting colors from across the spectrum that will remain harmonious with any color scheme. And you might be surprised to find that colors like True Red or Midnight Navy are “neutral colors.” You will find lots of interesting details like this in the book.

Although this book is in and of itself an excellent resource, I don’t believe that it can be considered a complete resource without the reader also having a copy of the Pantone Textile Color Guide Paper Edition as its companion (and the author makes reference to that on page 173). As with any printed book, the colors of this book are not reproduced exactly as they were intended. However, the Pantone guide gives you a dead-on perfect rendition of the colors Ms. Eiseman cites in the book. This is important if you want to match up paint swatches or fabric colors to those in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An indepth guide to understanding color, December 23, 1999
By A Customer
Lee Eiseman's book really helped me understand why certain colors and color combinations work in a home. Once you understand how certain colors affect you, then your decorating choices become clearer. This is a great book to have if you are buying a new home, remodeling, or simply redecorating. The Pantone color chips that are printed in the books are very helpful in illustrating various color combinations. I especially enjoyed Lee's rich descriptions of color.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Color Reference "MUST HAVE" for the Professional or Novice, December 11, 2000
By J M.H. Schwanke, aaf, AIFD PFCI (Comstock Park, MI USA) - See all my reviews
As a Design Industry Education Specialist who gives over 70 design related workshops and educational events every year, this Leatrice Eiseman offering(now available in paperback too) is THE Top of my recommendation list.

Offering a simple defined test to allow you to select the colors best suited for your presonal mood and preference, whether for your home or work environment.

However COLORS FOR YOUR EVERY MOOD is soooooo much more!

With detailed descriptions and discussions about how each color affects the way we feel as human beings. Also discussion on how color combinations are effectively used to persuade the buying public, combat aggressive behavior, influence our appetites and more.

A wonderful preceeding read to the NEW "Communicating with Color" just out in the market now (another must read)!

Colors for your every mood gives exactly what it promises...colors for YOUR every mood. The detailed description of each color is fascinating and enthralling putting your specific colors into an interesting unique perspective.

I have had the opportunity to see Leatrice Eiseman in action on several occasions. She is a fascinating, education expert. This book is a close representation of experiencing her wonderful insight in person. One of the foremost color experts in the world shares and divuldges her vast color expertise and education for everyone.

Easy to read, in short bits or to completely digest in one sitting...(I always find it hard to put down) you will find yourself returning to this fascinating color reference tool time and time again...as your colors for your every mood change and evolve.

Kudos to Ms. Eiseman for creating a book that transends other color methodology and "boring textbook references", colors for your every mood is ALIVE with Color and full of color secrets that will change the way you experience color in your business, professional or home environment.
