Feeling Overwhelmed By Paint Color Choices? I’m Here to Help!

Introduction: Why Color Matters

Let’s be honest—choosing the right paint color can feel overwhelming. You know color is essential, and that’s why you’re stuck. Whether you’re exhausted from trying or simply overwhelmed by the idea of starting, I understand how daunting this process can be. But here’s the thing: it’s all about color. The right color is the first element that needs to be considered, and I’m here to guide you through it.

Why a Road Map for Color is Crucial

Imagine having a clear road map that guides all the critical choices and purchases you'll be making for your space. As a color consultant based in Los Angeles, I can help you build that map, ensuring that every decision is informed by a cohesive color plan.

You or you and your partner have likely reached a breaking point. You’re disgusted, bored, and maybe even at odds over the state of your living room. No, you’re not going to divorce! But you can’t stand another moment seeing your space look the way it does. The couch is uncomfortable, the television feels outdated, the carpet is beyond saving, and that coffee table? It’s a shin-knocker that needs to go!

The Overhaul Begins: But Have You Considered Color?

As you plow through the shopping list of things you need and want, have you thought about one of the most important factors—color? Not only will the hue you choose set the tone for the space, but it’s also essential for selecting materials for floors, soft furnishings, and everything else that goes into creating a well-designed space with purpose.

Common Renovation Scenario: The Paint Dilemma

A familiar scenario unfolds during renovations: It’s time to paint. You or your contractor need to decide on a color. Down at the paint store, you’re confronted with an overwhelming array of choices. You spot a blue called “Pool Party” and think, “Yes, this looks nice. It’ll be fine, right?”

You head to the counter and order two gallons. Then, the technician asks, “What sheen would you like?” Caught off guard, you answer, “Ummm, I don’t know. What do most people get?” The technician explains that flat finishes don’t show imperfections but aren’t easy to clean. Eggshell has a low sheen and cleans better, while satin is good for high-traffic areas. You cut them off, “Okay, eggshell.”

But here’s what you didn’t understand: that sheen will make the color appear darker than it looked on the chart. Instead of absorbing light, it will reflect it, altering its overall appearance.

The Realization: The Wrong Color Choice

Back home, you start painting, and suddenly, the lovely “Pool Party” swatch transforms into something that looks more like a football team’s color on steroids. You’re sure you hate it, but you’re not sure why. Back to the store you go, convinced blue was the problem. This time, you opt for green. You grab a few samples and try them on the wall.

Soon, your walls resemble a patchwork quilt of different hues. Your eyes start to overload. Panic sets in as you realize you can’t give your contractor an answer today—or maybe even this week. You’re stuck.
