Color Your Life: How to Design Your Home with Colors from Your Heart
I was very excited about receiving the book and the color bars. Found BOTH to be totally useless! Colors are very very limited. None matched the many colors in my home at all. The book was also not helpful at all.
Don’t waste your money on this junk!

As we are presently remodelling our home, I have been referring to this book quite a lot. It is full of interesting ideas and good tips not only about color schemes. I have given it 4 stars because I don’t agree with everything the author says but most of her views are very interesting and innovative. The color bars are extremely useful and do take the guesswork out of what goes with what. I never realized how many tones and shades each color(hue) has and how certain of them really don’t go together. I would recommend this book for anyone renovating or refurbishing his/her home.

Elaine Ryan’s Color Bars were so easy to use, I can’t believe someone didn’t think of this before! I’m clueless when it comes to matching colors, and this foolproof method she developed easily guided me through the process of redecorating my home. I find that I can use them when matching colors in my wardrobe, too. Her book, Color Your Life, took me on a journey of discovering which colors I wanted to live with, and then once I discovered those colors, the Color Bars, showed me how to match the colors correctly. It would have been very expensive to make yet another color matching mistake!

Elaine Ryan’s book is an easy to read how-to book on decorating your home or office with color you can live with and enjoy.
It gives you tips, both practical and psychological to help you use color in decorating your home. I particularly enjoyed the subtle manner in which Ms. Ryan urges you to free yourself and take command of your life, a life that should be surrounded by color.

Love Elaine’s newest book! Especially found her color bars very user friendly. They have made me my own color expert. Timing could not be better as we are renovating, remodeling and redecorating a historic cabin in Culpeper, Virgina. Color bars have been terrifically helpful.
