"Leatrice Eiseman knows more about the history of color, the psychology of color and the application of color than anyone I have ever interviewed. She can make color interesting to a convent of nuns who only wear black."
— Marylou Luther, Editor, International Fashion Syndicate

"Thank you for your stunning book. It’s so beautiful and informative. It truly was the best present I got for Christmas. You never cease to amaze me with the depth, clarity and knowledge you have about color. Shucks, and I only thought in Crayola Basic 8 until I discovered your books."

NOTES FROM LEE
One of the most important things I have learned about color is that you never stop learning about it, because color "rules" are never so rigid that they cannot be adapted to your needs. If you already have a real sense of color, you’ll find that this book helps you understand why you choose the colors you do. If you are a professional who deals with color, it may open new avenues of thinking—such as how to deal more objectively with your clients. If you are really interested in color, you’ll not only find out about the "how-to’s", but also about the "why-do-I’s" of the colors you choose.
The purpose of this book is to share my discoveries with you so that you can enrich your life, as I have mine, and learn to be more alive with color! Color can literally change your life and can certainly simplify it.
