What does a Paint Color Consultant do?
Posted on May 8, 2019
Choosing a color for your home seems really easy. Pick something you like, right? So what do color consultants do?
In short, a color consultant understands and specializes in the complexities of color and its effects on mood and space for specific client needs. A color change can make your family energized or relaxed and with so many options, you definitely want an expert to guide you. Here are some areas our color consultants are happy to help with.
Trends vs. Classics
It can be easy to get swept up into the newest color fad to hit the market. Since painting is a big commitment, you should discuss options with an expert. Trends have the potential for the novelty to fade before the paint dries on the walls. Rather, let an expert guide you to a more long-standing choice.
The complexity of Color Choices
It’s easy to decide you want a blue room but have you considered what shade of blue? Will it play well with your other interior colors or the accessories and furniture of the room? Blue can come in a wide variety of shades giving feelings of comfort, relaxation, or refreshment. A color consultant will be able to navigate the tones to provide you with exactly the right color for your project.
If you are looking to bring in an accent wall or color, the specialist will be able to expertly match your color palette together. With the undertones and hues in consideration, you’ll have a few choices to give your room exactly the feel you’re looking for.
Color Complexity
Have you considered the variations of a color? For example, there are many shades of green. Some are leafy, some are watery, some are regal, some are comforting, and some are vibrant and refreshing. Every color has a range of distinct personalities.
If you’re considering one or more colors, is the color combination effective? Color combinations create new relationships and meanings. For example, the effects of red and blue are quite different from red and green.
Disagreements
There are strong feelings around color to be considered. People take color choices very personally. If you are consulting with your family members in the home, disagreements can arise from differing opinions. A paint consultant will be able to mediate issues and get everyone on the same color page.
A color consultant can work along a spectrum of helpfulness. From choosing a tone to creating a household color pallette. CertaPro Painters offers color consultant services with your painting package. Find out more now.
