Sterling, VA ? Whether they are decorating a house, choosing a new outfit, or trying to create mood-lifting surroundings, most people become overwhelmed by the infinite variety of colors. For the past twenty-five years, color authority and best-selling author Leatrice Eiseman has spoken to thousands of consumers and professionals about the influence of color in their lives. For her fifth book, “The Color Answer Book,” she has selected the questions people ask her most and broken them into the areas that most affect our lives: emotional responses; wardrobe planning, makeup, hair color and accessories; decorating home and office; health; and especially our garden or outdoor space.
Among the 100-plus questions in “The Color Answer Book” are the following:
1) Can choosing ?new? colors help change your life?
2) Do colors go in and out of style on a regular basis?
3) Are there specific colors that are recommended for particular health problems?
4) What is the best method of choosing appropriate colors for special parties and weddings?
5) What colors should I wear for a job interview?
