Definite must buy!

Love Elaine's newest book! Especially found her color bars very user friendly. They have made me my own color expert. Timing could not be better as we are renovating, remodeling and redecorating a historic cabin in Culpeper, Virgina. Color bars have been terrifically helpful.

a reader

Elaine Ryan's Color Bars were so easy to use, I can't believe someone didn't think of this before! I'm clueless when it comes to matching colors, and this foolproof method she developed easily guided me through the process of redecorating my home. I find that I can use them when matching colors in my wardrobe, too. Her book, Color Your Life, took me on a journey of discovering which colors I wanted to live with, and then once I discovered those colors, the Color Bars, showed me how to match the colors correctly. It would have been very expensive to make yet another color matching mistake!

The Best How-To Book For The Home Decorator

Elaine Ryan's book is an easy to read how-to book on decorating your home or office with color you can live with and enjoy. It gives you tips, both practical and psychological to help you use color in decorating your home. I particularly enjoyed the subtle manner in which Ms. Ryan urges you to free yourself and take command of your life, a life that should be surrounded by color.

a really good and different reference guide

As we are presently remodelling our home, I have been referring to this book quite a lot. It is full of interesting ideas and good tips not only about color schemes. I have given it 4 stars because I don't agree with everything the author says but most of her views are very interesting and innovative. The color bars are extremely useful and do take the guesswork out of what goes with what. I never realized how many tones and shades each color(hue) has and how certain of them really don't go together. I would recommend this book for anyone renovating or refurbishing his/her home.

"A unique approach to using color in the home"

Renowned interior designer and weekly interior design columnist, Elaine Ryan, discusses how to incorporate color in the home, as it relates to where we are in our lives. Chapters such as "The Sensuous Bedroom", "You and Your Mother", "You and Your Child", "Suddenly Single", and "Life After Throw Pillows", go where no interior design book has gone before. The book comes with patented Color Bars, the foolproof method that takes the guesswork out of selecting colors. Also included are the instructions how to use the Color Bars.
