With the start of Room for Color on Apartment Therapy, what better way to get color inspiration than from the homes of artists and people who work with color all day long? See below for some favorite books and posts on artists' homes, studios and decor.

Shown above are some tours of artists' homes that we've done on Apartment Therapy over the years:

• Matt, Ryan & Mason's Carefully Artist Loft
• Joan's Artist Abode
• A bright red door sets off the lush garden in Artist Anita Walsh's Garden Studio

Do you have any great books, blogs or other resources on artists' homes? Below are a few of mine:

• Artists' Houses by Gerard-Georges Lemaire and Jean-Claude Amiel
• Tuscany Artists' Homes by Mariella Sgaravatti
• Inside the Painter's Studio by Joe Fig
• Imagination's Chamber: Artists and Their Studios by Michael Peppiatt and Alice Bellony-Rewald
