As a person who knows nothing about visual arts, I chose many decoration colors for my house (and others'!) based on this handbook during years and they all turned out impressive.

Great reference book for ideas on combinations of up to four different colors.

Colors are classified as warm, cool, light, dark, vivid and dull. Color schemes are described as striking, tranquil, exciting, natural, warm, cold, young, feminine and surprising.

A very good book to learn about colors if you practice any kind of art, it can be helpful even in the age of photoshop and digital printing.
