Picking out paint colors?

12 years ago

The best way that I found for picking out paint colors.
Limit the samples down to three. You can buy small amount of your three colors at your local building supplier.
Take them home and try them out. See what you think! Also ask your friends.
What's sad is when you go and spend time and money on what doesn't look like it should.
So ask around, it doesn't hurt to ask.
Plus it gives you peace of mind.

You can go to www.voiceofcolor.com to play PPG's color sense game. It is amazing how accurate it is... all by the answers you choose about you and your personality. Also, if you have a picture you want to use in a room pull out colors from that for your wall color. Another way to find a paint color is to use a mobile app called "voice of color" from the app you are able to take a picture and it will show you the paint colors it pulls from the picture. Have fun with your spring painting and color selections!
