How do we learn to speak the language of colors? How do we move with ease and confidence through a maze of infinite possibilities? How do we create a colorful, harmonious and beautiful home? In answering these questions, this book provides technical tools, simple rules and practical advice about how we can use color decoratively and effectively in our own homes, bearing in mind the different variables to be taken into account, which are presented in an easy-to-read and understandable way. It explores the many facets of color theory and the secret lives of colors, taking the reader on a kaleidoscopic journey through the amazing world of colors, their origins and their idiosyncrasies. We learn why color grabs our attention and fascinates us to the point of seduction. We are shown how color influences the way we perceive spaces, how to handle color combinations, how to balance color and light, and the relationship between people and colors throughout history. Ultimately this penetrating book on the interaction of colors and the human experience of them makes clear how adding color to the environments in which we live can be a momentous gesture of consciousness and freedom, an act of love towards ourselves and the people we care about.
