If these questions about color interest you, then you’ll want to meet the woman who has all…and I mean all… the answers to these.
She actually asked the questions and answered them in her book The Color Answer Book.
I came across this book at the Bainbridge Island museum in the gift shop.
As soon as I began reading it, I didn’t put it down till the end.
It’s so engaging and filled with all kinds of tidbits you never knew about color, whether it’s in a painting, in your home, in your wardrobe, and so much more.
It turns out that the woman who wrote this book lives on the island.
Her name is Leatrice Eiseman and she is the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
