The Color Coach uses specific, scientific methods to determine your paint color palette. We come to your home or business and discuss the colors you love and those you do not. We'll find out from you what furniture, artwork and fabrics are important in each room and show you colors that will coordinate all of the elements of your home. The Color Coach Team, founded by Paula DeMars in 2002, has serviced over 7,000 satisfied customers throughout the Southwest. The Color Coach team members will come to your home or business and then the process begins as we: – REVIEW the property and discuss your desired outcome – PROVIDE information about how colors, lighting and finishes will work together – EXPLORE various options to suit your personality and style – SHOW you large swatches of paint color samples – CREATE an individualized color palette for you to keep. For INTERIOR projects, we will coordinate wall colors with flooring, fabrics, furnishings, artwork. For EXTERIOR projects it is important to harmonize elements such as the roof, landscaping and surrounding environment. If desired we can also RECOMMEND reliable contractors and craftsmen for virtually any job. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, this is normally accomplished with a one-time visit of about 1-3 hours. California-based Paula DeMars, Founder and Licensor of The Color Coach, has been a color and fashion consultant for more than 25 years.

On my current home, people walk in a are amazed at how comfortable it feels...and what they are really reacting to are the colors! Spending the time and money to lay our things with Kathleen will pay back in spades!! **★★★★★ — Wendy Ragsdale, Oct. 2022** > I used Kathleen for our Coto de Caza family home about ten years ago. The color combinations were beautiful. She really knocked it out of the park. > > We now live in a Dana Point beach house that we are remodeling. I can’t wait to use Kathleen again! She is great! **★★★★★ — bwilson92886, Nov. 2020** > STOP! Listen to me! > Call Kathleen right now. I don't care if you think you've selected the perfect colors, call her. After weeks of collecting swatches and testing colors on the walls, we went forward with having our interior painted what we thought was a lovely "grey-beige". Well, it wasn't. Little did we know (but Kathleen did) that the greens from the golf course were causing the lovely grey beige to read a weird ice blue. Yuck! No offense to blue, but that was not what we wanted. We called Kathleen in a panic on a holiday weekend! She responded and came by. She spent hours meticulously going through each room offering incredibly tasteful and spot on suggestions. She is calm, deeply knowledgeable and immensely talented. We had to have the painters repaint 3 days of their almost completed work, but it was worth it-the Kathleen suggested color palette is FANTASTIC! It's more than what we expected and way better than we could have imagined. Of everything that we purchased and spent money on for our remodel, without the question, Kathleen's service was the greatest value and most impactful. Again, call Kathleen now! Tell her the "grey-beige turned ice blue" folks sent you! **★★★★★ — Laura Bradburn, May 2018** > We used Paula's services for both our interiors and exterior colors. She did an amazing job tying in our cabinet colors, flooring and art work to make everything pop. While it seems simple to pick a paint color yourself, using Paula insures you it won't be do-over. I will definitely use her again for any job, big or small. **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Thank you Laura!! > I appreciate your time on this review. I hope people realize my services are way below $999.00 to $9,999.00 **★★★★★ — miwhitti, Dec. 2017** > Paula is amazing. She is a calm and knowledgeable professional who has helped me pick the perfect colors for my home over the years. This latest project was a rich and dark color for the master bedroom. I was afraid to go as dark as we did, however Paula reassured me that it was exactly what I wanted. She nailed it. I absolutely love going to sleep and waking up with this color. It is exactly what I wanted and it amazes me how differently it looks with just a sample patch of paint. Thank you, Paula! **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Oh Michon, > Thank you for the review. The room and the rest of your home looks terrific. So pleased that you are happy. Paula **★★★★★ — Kelly Kelly, Nov. 2017** > When we bought our house I had a VERY short time frame to pick out colors and get the interior painted prior to moving in. Which had me in a panic! I called Paula and she fit me into her already planned out busy Saturday. That was awesome. But more importantly, the woman knows her colors and has a great eye. My home is tall and skinny with three stories. I like drama in a home and have whimsical taste. Paula helped me choose both interesting bold colors and an amazing base. I'm so happy with it. **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Thank you Kelly! > I cannot wait to see it. > Paula **★★★★★ — Joann Freeman, Oct. 2017** > We have used Paula Demars, The Color Coach ,for 3 different projects in 2 different houses. She is amazing in her insight about light and color. I would not paint the interior or exterior of my home without her input because she understands, and can see the completed project, better than most can. I have referred several friends to her and they have all been as pleased as I have been. And all this aside, she is just a terrific person. You will love working with Paula! **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > So nice Joann. I really appreciate that you are pleased and that you took the time to write such a lovely review. Most fondly, Paula **★★★★★ — Eric & Joni Boranian, Aug. 2017** > Paula has helped me with at least seven different projects and I rely heavily on her expertise with color. She has an amazing sense of what I want and takes my taste into consideration. Every time I have put one of our homes on the market for sale, the first comment buyers make is that my colors are amazing. We work very well together and I feel fortunate that I have developed a relationship with such an amazing talent. **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Hi Joni and Eric, > What a lovely review. Thank you hope you are happy back in your new home. Fondly, Paula **★★★★★ — Marla Nathan, Feb. 2017** > This is the 2nd time we called upon Paula to help us with our paint colors. A few years ago she helped us with our exterior paint and this time she helped us with repainting our entire interior. Paula takes all of the hassles out of going to the paint store a gazillion times with paint samples. Instead, in approx. 2 hours you will have your paint colors picked out!! **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Thank you Marla. It makes me vary happy that you are happy. **★★★★★ — Kimberly Woloson, Jan. 2017** > Paula did an excellent job on color selections for a retail shopping center. She is very responsive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her. **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Thank you Kimberly. The pleasure was all mine. Newport Plaza looks brand new! **★★★★★ — shorn19, Sept. 2016** > We are so thrilled with the results of our new office - Paula was amazing and so easy to work with. The Color Coach made our desires for a wonderful work environment come together so quickly. We would highly recommend their services to any professional. **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Thank you Sheri. So glad you are happy in your new spot! > Paula **★★★★★ — margimurray, Sept. 2016** > Paula did such a great job selecting colors for the interior of our home! I was bored with the old Swiss coffee walls and Paula worked with me to select great colors to complement the furnishings and art work in every room of our home. It is hard to imagine any of the rooms without the warmth and interest they have now. It was such an amazing transformation that we called her back in to help us choose exterior paint colors. The place is gorgeous and we are delighted. I've recommended the color coach to everyone I hear planning to paint. **Comment from The Color Coach, LLC:** > Much appreciated Margi. So glad you and John are happy and comfortable referring me to your friends and family. That is the greatest compliment of all! > Most fondly, > Paula ## Selected projects - [Newport 1977 Home Remodel Looks Like New](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newport-1977-home-remodel-looks-like-new-pj-vj~2954585) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 17 - [Laguna Beach Vacation Rental](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laguna-beach-vacation-rental-pj-vj~1542912) - Location: Laguna Beach, CA - Photos: 12 - [Huntington Beach Brightened Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/huntington-beach-brightened-space-pj-vj~2446020) - Location: Huntington Beach, CA - Photos: 23 - Description: This is home in HB which lightened and brightened the space yet has exciting bold colors that work with their furnishing.
