Color Planning for Interiors,
An Integrated Approach to Color in Designated Spaces

Margaret Portillo (John Wiley April 2009)

Evidence-based approach to colour planning lets you discover the impact of colour on people and space. Color Planning for Interiors is based on the findings from a study that the author conducted across the USA. The author interviewed noted designers and colourists about the projects that best represented their approach to colour. As a result, you’ll discover how leaders in the field examine colour from compositional, symbolic, behavioral, preferential, and pragmatic perspectives in order to arrive at a carefully considered solution. Moreover, you’ll see how designers and architects apply this knowledge to a broad range of interior spaces, including workplaces, restaurants, retail settings, healthcare facilities, and private residences.

Complementing theory and research, real-life examples are presented from interior design projects that consider colour in relation to light, materiality, and interior architecture. In addition, full-colour diagrams, photographs, and design renderings illustrate concepts throughout the book to help you understand how to select and work with colour.

From the fundamental principles of colour theory to innovative applications, all aspects of designing interiors with colour are examined, making this book ideal for all professionals and students in interior design who want to develop the full potential of their colour palettes.
