How To Choose Your Perfect Color Palette

April 13, 2021 By Autumn

During the pandemic, many people found themselves with extra free time and it should not be a surprise to find out that some of that free time was spent on home improvement. One of the most budget friendly ways to refresh the look of your dwelling is to put some new paint on it. When you decide which paint to use, you should not shy away from starting with one of your favorite colors as a base. Then you can pick complimentary colors that can be used as accent paint.

Key Takeaways:

  • First you want to pick your favorite color and you can use your clothing choices as inspiration for this.
  • You don’t want to only use warm or cool tones because the room will feel flat or stuck in one direction.
  • You can ultimately choose what you want but a little light contrast with color opposites will bring a room to life.

“Think about your hair: You have your base hair color, then you make some brighter and some maybe even darker (do people still do this? This analogy might be circa “Friends” from 1996). But you don’t want them to be EXACTLY lighter and darker colors, that doesn’t look natural, you want a little color variance so it looks richer.”
