White Hot: cool colors for modern living by Elspeth Thompson & Tricia Guild

Released in Nov/99. Hardcover. Tricia Guild's bold use of bright colors has spurred groundbreaking change in the design world. White Hot finds Tricia in a contemplative mood with a calmer and cooler palette, bringing her talent as a colorist to a whole new realm of whites and neutrals. Each chapter explores the limitless possibilities of a single color group in a variety of design settings, whether Tricia is adding new accents to update one corner of a room or entirely revamping the look of a space. Through Tricia's eyes, whites and neutrals take center stage, subtly enhanced and energized with infusions of intense color strategically placed. White Hot's luscious photography further illustrates how light, patterns, shape, and, above all, texture play their parts in creating intriguing variations in tones and hues. These enormously inviting spaces reveal a master colorist working at the height of her powers. And more than ever before, she reveals the mechanics behind her innovative color combinations. By including color breakdowns at the end of each chapter, she also highlights how nature's lessons can be translated into concrete design principles. An integrated visual and practical experience, White Hot ultimately delivers a deliciously creative adventure in contemporary home design. Some waviness of the pages as shown.
