Choosing color from a 1-inch chip in a paint store is the single most expensive mistake homeowners make. That chip is lit by fluorescents, isolated from your flooring and furnishings, and bears almost no relationship to how the color will read on a 12-foot wall in your specific light.
A professional color consultation is an hour of guided decision-making in your actual space. We bring large-format samples, evaluate undertones against your existing finishes, and account for north-facing versus south-facing exposure, time of day, and the warmth of your light fixtures.
We also think in palettes, not single colors. A confident interior coordinates wall color, trim, ceiling, doors, and any accent moments — so each room reads as part of a whole rather than a series of disconnected decisions.
Most consultations run $250 to $400 and are credited back against any painting work we do for you. The math is straightforward: one consultation is meaningfully cheaper than repainting a wrong color.
