Paint, Funcolors, 2010 Color Trends – ColorPodz 2
Part I we discuss various paint brands like Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball, and Full Spectrum Paint. Waiting until the last minute to seek professional color advice is a bad plan; listen to learn how you can prepare for paint day.

Part II covers a variety of topics from my activity as “funcolors” on decorating forums to color trends. The picture to the left is my avatar. Her name is Rose and when you see her, you know you’ve found a post by “funcolors” (a.k.a. me!)

Feedback from my Color Budz Thanks you guys!

"Surely the next step is eBooks?! Lori has written enough to fill tens of books (and then some, I'm sure) and she is the expert's expert: people will pay for this. I would/will. In fact, if you were to ever do courses, I believe I would fly over to the States to attend. You are both fantastic writers and I, for one, am gripped." —Heather Jenkinson, November 15 at 3:31am


"I just like the style you took with this article. It isn't every day that you discover something so to the point and enlightening."


"I have been looking around colorstrategies.net and actually am impressed by the terrific content material here."


"I simply needed to let you know that I have been enjoying what I have seen and I look forward to reading more."


"I love how you use color on your blog. Using that many colors in a logo or on one page can easily scream cheesy. The way you have used a lot of colors looks fun and classy. Very tasteful and it's obvious that you are a color pro."


"I call Lori the “color scientist” because she’s incredibly knowledgeable about all things related to color and paint"—Ellen Kennon, Full Spectrum Paints


"... And by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed your articulateness, erudition, and devotion to your profession."


"This cast was so informative and helpful. I have been reading color theory books, but to have all of the community and knowledge for a week away will be so helpful to grow in the color world. Thank you for making this series! I can't wait to hear more!"
