Tips on How to Find Your Color
HOW TO CHOOSE COLORS FOR YOUR HOME AND WORK ENVIRONMENTS



Get our Trend-Proof Palette and watch the colors that belong in your home light up like a pinball machine. The context of this color collection is that all the colors have to coordinate the past, present, and future of color trends. They are truly Trend-proof. So if you have a sofa from the 90's with 200 year-old rug and a 2 week old kitchen remodel, you will find that not just one color, but all the colors, can coordinate everything, and make it look "meant to be."

The way the colors are laid out on the palette page guides you to pick out colors easily for all kinds of decor. Start with the lightest page Pebbles and Cream and pick 2-3 colors that look great with your wood colors and your favorite fabrics. Do this with each page. FORCE YOURSELF - MAKE A LIST! You will see, not only the green you want, but also all kinds of other color possibilities you'd never thought about. You may end up with blues you never thought would work. At the end you will end up with many great colors that are beautiful. They will either confirm what you thought, or give you a new color perspective you didn't previously have.

Narrow it down like you would with clothes in a dressing room, and you'll be able to coordinate your entire home in a day! Divide the colors into different outfits. Organize the colors like shirts and skirts that look good with each other (you have already confirmed they look good with your things). Ask yourself, would you wear this shirt with this skirt? See which colors can flip back and forth between outfits. The paint palettes are finger-daubed. Rub the color and feel the quality of the paint. These are the only paint palettes in the paint industry like it. They are superior to small, lonely paint chips. Because chips are viewed in isolation. These real colors, made with the real paint, will let you see their "actual" true depth, and show you exactly which ones belong in your home and which ones do not!

HOW TO CHOOSE PAINT FINISHES

It is fair to say that when you are shopping for a green pillow, deciding between cotton or velvet depends on the other sofa, bedding, or chair fabric sheens. Using the same "pillow shopping" expertise, select one of our perfect paint finishes for your color that goes with the décor, fabrics, and textures in your home. All are washable and durable. Look around and take inventory of surfaces such as wood, glass, granites along with fabrics and determine if the sheens are contemporary, traditional, eclectic, or natural. For example, a living room with a lot of cottons, linens, and antiques goes better with a color mixed in a matte sheen for the walls to not "outshine" the matte look of the room. The same color in a matte sheen for a kitchen with black granite, lots of glass, and stainless could look dry, cheap, and separated from all the sparkling reflection! Light is color and color is light. We take light very serious. Visit our color and sheen section to not only choose your colors, but also the wall sheen that reflects the overall look of your home.
