This book opened my eyes on the reasons and purposes of the different colors. I had no idea colors were so important to our thoughts and actions. If you are interested in working with colors to improve your life, this may be a good place to start.

This book did not offer any new insight into the color theory - seems like a summary of information we know from school and internet.

This book is written very fluently, with acuity and keenness, full of richness and deep understanding. June Mclead covers the topic extensively and interestingly, very consistent in her message and solid knowledge. She encompasses all her knowledge of color and how it impacts us in all spheres of human endeavor: children and babies, learning styles, business, corporate personalities, health and vitality, environment, numerology, music, complementary therapies, etc. There is no doubt that we react to color, we communicate through color, whether subtle but profound, as undeniable as the Sun emits across the light spectrum of visible and invisible color that is part of the equation that makes possible our life on the planet.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

overall a really good look into the way Colors control our world. How baby's and infants see color, how we see things all through color. Refreshing to read something out of my normal realm.
