Design Observer recently blogged about a slightly unconventional way of organizing our books by color instead of by author, title, or subject. According to the article, arranging books by color is not only "cool to look at", but some even argue that it helps "discover new and unexpected relationships between books" – suggesting that certain color books are associated with certain subjects or moods.
I can see this working organizationally for a small personal library, because for books we are very familiar with, we often recognize them by the color of the cover. Sorting your books by color gives you a reference point for where to look. It’s an interesting way of thinking about color and after all, makes for an aestheically pleasing display!
