Summary: TRIED AND TRUE
Comment: I am a complete stickler when it comes to decorating and paint color. I'll test quarts and quarts of different paint colors before choosing paint color for a room, and am very concerned about getting a flow of color throughout my house. The Perfect Palette has truly been a remarkable tool for me. Up to now, I have yet to find a book that provides paint color combinations and a detailed explanation for using them. Despite the books age, (it was published in '98) and the fact that Benjamin Moore changed their color numbers, this book is the only book that actually helped me to get the paint colors in my house working in a unified, cohesive fashion. The Perfect Palette is very, very useful, which is more than I can say for many of the newer paint books I've looked at. If you want to get your rooms beautifully painted and create a sense of connection between all the rooms in the house, buy this book. It is tried and true.

Summary: Color Plans, not a decorating book.
Comment: This book was extremely helpful to me in finding color combinations for various rooms. I found it especially useful in rooms where I already had a feature I couldn't/wouldn't change. For example, I have custom window shades in my kitchen that it isn't practical to replace, but I want to paint the walls. By using the color plans in the book for the colors in my shades, I've found three different choices for the walls that wouldn't have occurred to me on my own (probably because none of them are off-white).
Reading the other reviews, I think people who expect a 'decorating' book will be disapointed in this book. There are very few photographs of actual rooms, just a picture of each color combination. But if you need a reference for colors that work together you should find this book helpful. In addition to the three major colors in each scheme, the author suggests wood tones and accent colors to go with each plan. She also offers some excellent suggestions for choosing colors outside the plans, for example - use the darkest, richest end of the color chip to select a color, then work back to lighter shades until the color is usable in your particular situation.
I found the book very helpful, and feel certain it's a reference I will continue to use.
