Written in an accessible, user-friendly format, this book is about the color world of the architectual interior--color that extends in front of and behind you, to either side of you, and above and beneath you. It is based on what color is and how you see it; the dynamics of color and light in interior space; optical and harmonic color interactions; interior color quality, illumination, and reflective surfaces; interior color as bearer of meaning. The text is complemented with a 32-page full-color insert with color palettes, pattern analyses, and photographs of interiors.
