What’s the color of Spring fever?

As an experienced professional architectural color consultant, I can’t imagine using just one brand of paint.
Practically speaking, it is not possible to work with national and international clients and specify just one brand of paint because access varies. Some brands have limited distribution and are strictly regional. And just because a brand may be widely available, that doesn’t mean there’s a store in every neighborhood – your neighborhood. Here’s what you need to know in order to shop smart for paint.
The paper I wrote about LRV, Light Reflectance Value, is cited as a source in this AEC Daily and Benjamin Moore course called “Color and Light”. Three pages in the course are dedicated to LRV and reference some of my research. Cool.
What paint brands do professional color consultants use and recommend — and why? Diane S. emailed chat@colorpodz.com and asked about paint brands. Here’s the scoop:
In this ColorPod post we identify about twenty different brands. You can listen in as we discuss the ups and downs of specifying mainstream brands as well as what it’s like to work with higher price-point luxury brands.
In a previous ColorPodz, I mentioned some strips of paint color chips seem to be neatly organized from darkest to lightest while others are comprised of colors that relate and harmonize, but don’t quite look like a literal stepping down in scale.
In this quick Burst, I talk about two commonly used collections of colors from Ben Moore as examples, Classic Colors & Color Preview.
