If you start off excited about creating a new look — but hit a wall when it comes to
choosing the paint color — you’re not alone, say Ace’s Design Experts. Get beyond
the block with professional advice that will boost your color confidence.
“If you start by grabbing stacks of paint chips,
you can overwhelm yourself with choices,” says
Katie Reynolds, Interior Designer and Ace’s
Design Expert from Dallas, TX. “Instead, learn
how to zero in on the right color.”
First, ask yourself how you want the room to
feel. Focus on identifying which color will create
the right mood for your space. Leave decisions
about the specific value, tone or shade of a
color for later.
• Calming — Blues, Greens
• Energetic — Reds, Oranges,
Yellows, Pinks
• Regal — Purple
• Glamorous — Deeper, warm undertones
of any shade
• Tranquil — Lighter, less saturated
versions of any shade
• Cohesive — Neutrals. Choose a warm
or cool undertone to set
the mood.
