Who Should Pick the paint Colors?

Who should pick the paint colors for your next painting project?

This is a question I receive in some form or another from many of my customers.

Imagine his scenario, A stranger walks into your house for ten minutes and glances around the house then takes out a slip of colors and tells you what will work for you and then as fast as they came in the depart.

To me it sounds like Superman visited or was it Batman?

Not everyone is well versed in color. All though your painter  may be good at recommending colors and provide their own color consult a lot more can go into picking the correct color for your next project.

Take these factors into play during your next color selection:

1. depth of color
2. Saturation of color
3. complimentary colors
4. mood of room
5. light sources in room
6. trends
7. hues 
8. and many more factors

Many of the color experts in the industry are not-self taught as many are educated in schooling for interior decorating and design as many color certifications courses.

One of my observations when meeting with a customer is after they agree to a painting proposal they will then pick the colors to be used within five minutes with out much thought.

We have come to realize all though we have seen many trends with colors that work over the years and if you can see by the picture above, my wife asked me to put the pillows on the couch, that most of us do not have the expertise to make a House a home.
