Notes from the Corner

Starting to Pick a Color

If you are in the planning phases of painting your room, we recommend checking out Benjamin Moore’s color chart. Through this website, you can narrow down your options, see how your color looks throughout the day and find related colors. If you want to paint trim or accent walls, this website will help walk you through what will pair well together. You can also find items that you would like to incorporate, and we can color match it to your space!

Items to Consider when Choosing

Depending on the type of lighting you have in your space may determine how your paint color appears. Benjamin Moore’s website recommends color based on lighting in your space. You should also consider items like sheen.
