“Today, good taste is often erroneously rejected as old fashioned because the ordinary man, seeking approval of his so-called personality, prefers to follow the dictates of his own peculiar style rather than submit to any objective criterion of taste.” — Jan Tschichold
Just because you have a dimly lit room, you are not sentenced to exclusively living with white or off white paint colors. We discuss how you can celebrate the light you have to work with and turn it into a positive aspect of the room — you don’t have to play it safe!
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!)
In our first ColorPod we discuss what it means to be a color expert. The IACC-NA is the International Association of Color Consultants of North America and all three of us have completed the seminars and are active members.
