Color Palettes: Atmospheric Interiors Book by Suzanne Butterfield, 1998

Offered by: Modern Antiquarian

Description
A celebration of color, this book reveals how the Donald Kaufman Color Collection transformed interior design in the late 20th century. Kaufman, a painter turned master colorist, was famed for pigments that captured subtle shifts of light and mood, elevating walls into living canvases. Butterfield showcases 25 homes across diverse styles, demonstrating how carefully calibrated palettes could shape emotion and spatial perception. Published in 1998, at a moment when designer paints were redefining luxury interiors, the book reflects a broader design movement that privileged nuance, tone, and the psychological impact of color. Both practical and artful, it remains a record of how color became a cornerstone of modern decorative history. 8.5"w x 10.25"h x 0.75"d
