 Breakthrough Book for Developing a Color Scheme for your House Dec 10, 2007
By Andre Ptaszynski
"architect"
This book has been waiting to happen for years.
If you've ever gone cruising neighborhoods to find the new colors for your house, with color fan and notebook in hand, you know it can take weeks to find just what you need. Susan Hershman has done the work for us at long last. Not only has she photographed almost two hundred beautifully painted houses, she discusses each color scheme and reveals the paint manufacturer, color number and many other essential details.
The houses are of all styles and colors. They are mostly houses which the average American can relate to, no chateaux on the Loire or English stately homes. Her descriptions are insightful and help one figure out just what would be right for one's own particular situation.
Essential reading even if you want to develop your own unique color palette.

Fantastic book Jun 16, 2008
By avid reader
"mccate"
This is the best reference I have ever seen for exterior colors. The pictures are of real houses, not staged for photography and the book gives you the paint brands and numbers of the colors used on each house. Very very helpful. I found colors to paint my home I would have never thought to consider and I am a decorator. Thank you Susan!

Great Book!! Dec 29, 2007
By Robert Nebolon
"Architect"
This book will be very useful to laymen and professionals for use in selection of exterior colors and materials for new houses, remodelings, and even when the house is getting re-painted.
Laymen, when re-doing their own house to whatever degree, would love the book because Ms. Hershman clearly and simply explains her points by use of examples (in beautiful photography) as well as the written word. For professionals, the book offers a collection of images and ideas that can presented to their clients so that they can understand that color is not a "paint job". Rather, exterior color is really an integrated system of materials and colors--and that system can range for the very simple to the very complex.
This book would be wonderful addition to anyone's library.

By Tom Whitlock
"LambShank"
This is certainly the most comprehensive and helpful book out there on exterior house colors. It provides amazing photos that inspire great color combinations and also provides the resources to recreate what is shown on the pages. It's like having a personal designer right at your fingertips. Great resource!!!

The BEST book out there Dec 12, 2007
By M. Fowler
This book is destined to be a classic for professionals and novices alike. Rather than another "pretty" book to ad to the shelf, it is an extensive resource that can be used for years. If you've ever chosen a paint color only to have to change it several times, this will save your sanity and money. Susan is a professional who does the work for you. The resource section in the back of the book is amazing. If you want your house to be the one other's drive by and admire, buy this book. Bravo!
