House Beautiful Color: The Perfect Shade for Every Room, is a beautiful book! Illustrated with hundreds of photos, it's organized around color, with every chapter illustrating a color, including white! At the beginning of these chapters, there is a fun fact page, with tidbits like "The ancient Greeks believed wearing white to bed insured sweet dreams," or "green is the color used for night-vision goggles because the human eye can discern more shades of green than any other color." One nice feature is a list of different paint shades of each color with brand names. Another nice feature is that each chapter has a few comparison pages, say if the color is green, then they compare how that color goes with other colors using accessories and objects of those colors. Even if you aren't decorating your house this is a fun book to spend an evening with. Lovely! ML
