Color Section Tips

Consider the lighting in the room | The type of light and the direction it’s coming from can greatly affect the look of a color. Consider the natural light in the room and choose colors that complement it.

Look at the surrounding elements | Consider the colors of the furniture, flooring, and other items in the room. Choose colors that complement or contrast with these elements.

Think about the mood you want to create | Different colors can evoke different emotions and moods. For example, cool colors like blue and green can create a calming atmosphere, while warm colors like red and yellow can be energizing.

Use color samples | Paint chips can look very different on the wall than they do in the store. Purchase samples and paint swatches on the wall to see how the color looks in the room.

Test the color | Before making a final decision, paint a small section of the wall and observe it at different times of day to see how it looks under different lighting conditions.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a color that you love and that makes you happy!
