Color Confidence

Color can give you the biggest bang for your decorating buck. But the wrong color or the wrong shade of a color can be an expensive mistake.

There are over 16,000 paint colors to choose from (not to mention computer-match colors.) No wonder you are overwhelmed.

Color has a huge impact on how you feel in a room.

• What looks great on a paint chip, can be overwhelming on your walls.
• What looks good at the paint store, can be jolting in your home.
• What looks soft and pastel in the paint can, looks colorless and gray on your walls on a cloudy day.

You need to choose the right shade of your favorite color for success.

Working with Linda Varone you will have the best of color psychology, color theory, and interior design to create a color- mood room, home or office to fit your lifestyle, taste and needs.

A color consultation with Linda Varone will:

• Identify your favorite colors and the color-feeling you want to experience in a room.
• Coordinate colors with your furniture, artwork and home accessories.
• Select paint colors that work with your wood furniture and woodwork.
• Help you identify paints for harmonious room-to-room color transitions.
• Work with colors from several brands of paint for the best selection.
• Fine-tune your color selection to work with the light in the room (metamerism.)
• Inform you about the newest in paint technology.

Linda’s Guiding Principles of Color:

• The best colorist is Mother Nature – avoid synthetic-looking colors.
• Color and light (natural and artificial) interact. The quality of light in a room will affect how a color looks. Different light will change the appearance of a color. This is called “metamerism.”
• Therefore, always select your wall colors in the room you are going to paint.
• Colors used on television are for a dramatic makeover, not to create a room that can be lived in.
• Color is best when it is a warm, yet subtle background for you and your personal treasures, not the focal point of a room. This may mean dialing-down your favorite color a shade or two.
• The right color can highlight the best qualities of your furniture, woodwork and artwork.
• Work with colors you love, rather than what is “in style” or deemed correct.
