 Understanding the Effects of Color Oct 04, 2008
If you've ever wondered why you love one color and hate another, Colors For Your Every Mood is the book for you. It begins with a test requiring you to list your reactions to a list of colors. Don't worry, it's not something you can fail. There's no teacher looking over your shoulder. Then Eiseman examines each color providing historical contest was well as known psychological and physiological reactions to the color. Finally, she explains the connotations involved with the choice of colors in decorating individual rooms within a home. Colors For Your Every Mood also offers tips on color selection, matching, and balance. Whether or not you agree with her findings, Eiseman's explorations of each color are interesting.
Color mood answer book Apr 20, 2008
In my opinion this Leatrice Eiseman book is much better than the "Colors for your every mood" (L.Eisman). You will find plenty of color resources and answers. Some time she is very focus in psychology and emotional reactions and forget the practical side.

This is a fun book on color that seems to appeal to just about everyone who sees it. The ability to step outside one's own sphere of personal preference and appeal to a wide variety of taste is, I think, one of the most difficult challenges to the design book author, and that is the greatest achievement of this book. I was drawn to the soft pastels of what the author classifies as "Romantic" and "Nurturing," as well as the icy blues of "Winter Frost". I am always amazed when someone picks up the book and pours over the insufferably ugly "Traditional" palate featuring a red carpet, forest-green walls and a plaid couch, but there you go. Something for everyone.
The author pairs photos of interiors, exteriors, and nature with a paint chips that approximate the look-and-feel of the illustration, which I found to be a fun approach. "Parisian Cafe" and "Marrakech" are two intriguing examples of using a certain place to inform color selection. The essays on color are a little cliched, too ofen embroidering the obvious (blue is "the color of the sky," we are told; pink is "soft and innocent" and red is "the color of excitement") but the photos are lovely and the general approach teaches one how to deconstruct an image or a place into a palette that can be used in an interior.

 Web Developers with no sense of color look no further... Mar 22, 2003
As a web developer I spend most of my day writing code and worrying about the code working on all browsers, etc. Up until recently I had no desire to learn about color and the feelings behind it. If you are in a similar situation look no more. This book has made a permanent position on my desk and will continue to help me with the design and development of my future projects. Hats off to the authors....
I have fully recommended this book to the entire Long island Flash User's Group (LIFUG).
