"Composed primarily of enigmatic purples, meditative blues, dusky mauves, ghostly grays and wispy whites, this is the thought-provoking mystical palette that reaches beyond the heavens into other spheres, exploring unknown realms beyond the physical, creating a sense of the surreal." [p. 76]

"Keep your ears tuned to the newest buzzwords. For example, what does 'authentic' say to you? Does it say real, without artifice, natural, genuine? Could it also mean traditional and/or classic mood? Are spiritualism and a fascination for the supernatural a continuing interest that captures the public attention? If this is so, match the descriptive buzzword to one of the closest moods depicted in this book and that will give you a sense of where the color direction is going as well as the recommended combinations to get you there."
