Each color scheme begins with Will sharing his personal photographs and the memories that inspired each palette. He then goes on to show how these inspirations can be used in real-life decorating via easy-to-translate examples, complete with color checklists, swatch scrapbooks, illuminating room analyses and nuggets of Will's color secrets.

“Adapted from a blog of the same name, this book embodies Taylor's bold and whimsical approach to color for interior design. His aesthetic is youthful, a mix of Dutch mid-century modern and vintage shabby chic. At the heart of the book Taylor turns mixologist, divining so-called 'color cocktails' that blend 'Licorice and Vermilion' into 'Tangerine Dream,' strains 'Aureolin Yellow and Azure Blue' into 'The Cerulean Splash,' and flips 'Mint Cream and French Rose' into 'Mint Bliss.' Taylor blends the personal with the professional, sharing photos of his colorful apartment, telling personal tales of trips to Spain, and recounting childhood memories of going to the theater with his mother. The book could have turned into another blog-turned-book, but Taylor's keen eye for color paired with dazzling photographs raises the bar more than high enough: 'With the strawberry season in full swing many of the stalls were awash with a sea of red berries,' Taylor writes, opposite a brilliant photograph of a fire hydrant, 'framed by the wash of blue on the wall behind it.' Taylor's color-democratic vision embodies the idea that inspiration is everywhere and meant for everyone.” —Publishers Weekly
