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.
Compass Color Rose™ shows you how to select wall color based on quality of light in order to coax mood and construct atmosphere — literally out of thin air! Best of all it works with ALL brands!
The geographic direction of fenestration matters when it comes to choosing paint colors — because windows and doors allow natural light to illuminate the interior and grants each space its own quality of atmosphere.
Full spectrum paint is one of the best color strategies when you want to immediately enjoy living in your new home and need to paint before furniture and accessories are acquired. Whether it is a color of white or something with more hue, you need flexibility.
For most people that means choosing a color they consider to be “neutral”. It is thrilling to learn that you can get even more flexibility from the way full spectrum paint colors are built, or mixed in the can.
I can explain why full spectrum paint colors are the perfect solution and how they work.
Ellen gives us the scoop on all the changes at Full Spectrum Paints. ICI/Dulux was bought out by AkzoNobel and the bases used to mix her paints now have a “Glidden Professional” label. In addition to her rugs, Silk Road Weaves, Barbara is working with Ellen to develop a Barbara Jacobs designer palette of full spectrum paint colors. Grab a pen and paper so you can jot down how to order samples and paint.
