Color To Consider for Your Home


Since I'm a Color Specialist in Charlotte and choosing color is my job, I've been in dozens and dozens of homes. That's a lot of homes and a lot of color schemes. I've seen just about all color combinations from the very classic to the “what were you thinking” color schemes.

So when you've come to the decision to choose new color for your home, what will it be?

Black and White?

A splash of yellow?

Or you're fed up and really have no idea 
what you want or how to go about getting it.





Common Colors
Although these are nice colors, they are very common to see. You have your Sherwin Williams golds and neutrals such as Blonde, Believable Buff and Netsuke. Then to match those you'll have Ecru, Macadamia and Harmonic Tan. Perhaps you get a little “daring” with Comfort Gray, Meditative and Rainwashed all thrown into your color palette. 

Now theses are ALL beautiful colors and are popular for a reason - because they are pretty and decor friendly. But, I really want to think outside the box with color and out of your comfort zone when it comes to choosing color for your home.

Now I must say the last few weeks I've really been pushing some unusual colors and for the most part my clients love it and say. “I would have never thought of that color!” which is great but sometimes they just come out and say, “NO!” Hey, you don't know until you try right? 

I see it this way. You've hired a Color Specialist to choose color for your home, make it unique to your home, your neighborhood and your personality. In some cases people just want color as the background to hold up their house but in some cases, people really want to live in a new and colorful world for their home.


So when I'm in your home, let's get outside of the crayon box and enjoy the colors that are around us. Let's chance things up with some unique color just for you!
