The Process of Selecting Color
So many times I come across a customer that knows exactly what color they want to paint on their walls. They can talk about it and describe it and show me photos. They’ve been thinking about it and can completely imagine it in their mind’s eye. They’ve got 8 to 10 little paint chips spread out all over their walls.It’s now time for me to step in and get them to slow down. I encourage them to take all of the paint chips off the wall and pick from just a few. Once in a while, this is a difficult task until they begin to trust that I can find the right color for them. When this happens, and I can show them why that particular shade of paint will work, then it all begins to fall into place and the real fun begins.
Picking the right paint color for your walls takes an educated eye. It takes trust in your color consultant to allow them to guide you. I am able to begin the color consulting process before you’ve become overwhelmed by too many choices. I try to make it fun. It’s fun for me, so it should be fun for you. When the paint is up, and it’s all finished, and you’re happy, that’s the favorite part of the color consulting; that’s the pay off. The happy, confident customer and one that shares his or her excitement with others is my reward.
