Office Color Schemes

A newly revised section covers office color schemes based on 12 colors: red, orange, yellow, brown, green, blue-green, green, blue, purple, black, white and grey. A description of the advantages and disadvantages of specific shades of each color is also included. Illustrations show how to use the colors to create a dynamic effect ... or a softer and quieter effect. Easy to use instructions explain how to use these colors on walls, floors and furniture and which accent colors work best.

Choosing the right colors is the first step. Selecting the right color of paint or wallpaper or the right carpet color to deliver the desired results is not so easy. All too often, a color that looks ideal on a small paint sample explodes into a different color when you apply it to a wall. A subdued light champagne yellow paint color turns into a screeching sour lemon yellow on the walls, an olive carpet winds up brown, and a very light tint of any paint color turns out white. "Color Voodoo for the Office" includes a full section of guidelines for color predictability for furniture, paint, wall covering and flooring.

A little background about how the book came into being: The information is based on the author's University courses on color and design and her A.S.I.D. certified continuing education course for interior designers. "Color Voodoo for the Office" is written in understandable terms so that the general public may apply and benefit from the information. An added benefit!
