I live in a small NYC studio - 300 sq feet - so I'm painfully aware of every inch of space or lack thereof. My walls are taken up with bookshelves as it is practical but for this reason I am open to creative design considerations (book jackets or even storage boxes to simplify the visual lines of the space. My book collection is the focal point. In the large wall size bookshelf I categorize by subject - art catalogs, travel books, general fiction, more weighty literature, research, mysteries etc so color-coordination wouldn't work there.

However, I do have a narrow IKEA lack bookcase to one side of my bed where I keep "guilty pleasure" reads. After seeing a few posts regarding color coordination and liking the pop of color it provides, I arranged this one shelf by color and frankly it is fun and visually appealing.
