The possibilities for your home are endless! Picking the right combination of colors is the most
important part of the painting process. Here are some tips & tools to help you make the right choices
regarding your color selection.
Begin At The Beginning - Determine what features or existing finishes in the room you would consider
permanent. Consider the cabinets, tile, or a fireplace.
Create A Focal Point - Emphasize your home's architectural features, such as trim, with contrasting
paint lighter or darker than the wall.
Unify The Color Flow - You can unify rooms by using a common color swatch. Create distinct spaces by altering
the shade and hue of the swatch.
Emphasize or Minimize - A narrow room will look wider if you use a slightly darker color on the shorter
walls and a lighter color on the longer walls. You can make a ceiling appear higher by applying a lighter color,
or lower with a darker color.
Reflect On Light Sources - Remember that the color you choose may look different at various times
of the day and night. Incandescent lights will have a different influence on the color than the natural
light of the day.
