In Vivid, Julia gives her take on each colour, followed by the beautiful photography from Armelle (travel and interiors) with brief snippets of text around each image to give hints and tricks. Each colour highlights a specific interior with an interview from the owners.
There were a couple of little things that bothered me, how the home shown in the chapter on the colour red, was very orange, how black and white are included but the last two colours on the spectrum were not and despite Julia explaining the definitions of shade, tone and tint, you'll find them misused later in the text. Nitpicky I know! Overall, the book is meant to inspire you to use colour and I definitely was inspired :) :) Julia is such a great stylist, I would have loved seeing her create scenes using art or incorporating flowers rather than just write about them but maybe that'll be the next book! As much as I'm nitpicking it, I still absolutely loved it and *fingers crossed* for a future book where Julia does a deeper dive into her styling genius! Colour is such a huge topic it's almost impossible not to be left wanting more!
