				<![CDATA[In design it is imperative to remember the importance of color. The difficulties most people have in unifying a look is directly related to color. A room can feel wrong for no other reason than the color, but why? It can be too cool, too energizing or just plain ugly. The way you feel in a room directly relates to the color. Most people have heard the phrase color-coordination, but very few know what it means. What is a color wheel and how can we use it to help with coordination? All of these topics will be addressed, discussed and used to get another step closer to really understanding the role color plays in the designer's world.
