Why read it?
1 author picked Dreaming in Colour as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Just call him “The Color King”! Vivid, vibrant color is Kaffe Fassett’s vocabulary, and he has brought his command of the entire spectrum to textiles, knitwear, ribbons and trims, quilts, and mosaics. And more!

It turns out that this incomparable designer is also a masterful storyteller, and I loved learning more about his lifelong creative journey.
From Lynne's list on the colors you crave.
