For a lot of homeowners in the Bay Area, CA, the most difficult part of a residential painting project has nothing to do with finding the right painter but everything to do with choosing the right color.

Unlike in commercial painting, where color options are often limited based on customer preferences or market trends, in residential painting, choosing colors is usually a matter of personal choice. This means you are not restricted as to which or how many colors and shades you’d like to choose. But that lies the problem – with hundreds of options, colors, shades, finishes, and treatments, you just don’t know which are the right ones you will use for your exterior or interior paint project.  

Custom Painting Inc. is here to ease your stress and agony over choosing the right colors with our color consulting for painting services. Our in-house color consultants have the experience, expertise, and the right tools to help you choose the right colors and shades for your residential painting projects. Our consultants do away with the guesswork and guide you through the process of working the color wheel to achieve your desired results.

Benefits of color consulting

Color is the most important element of any design. Not only does color have an impact on the overall aesthetics of a space, but it also has the ability to affect one’s mood. The right colors can improve the intended mood and atmosphere of the space. This is why choosing colors should not be a haphazard decision. The wrong color choices can lead to dissatisfaction, not to mention a waste of time and money.

Again, choosing colors is a matter of personal choice. You can find color scheme ideas and inspiration from your décor, travels, favorite artwork, and a lot more. But suppose you are not sure whether your beloved purple shade works well for your entire bedroom or is better applied as an accent color. In that case, color consulting can help reduce your fears of color commitment and make the selection process a lot easier and smoother.
