How to Choose the Right Paint Color

Choosing a paint color is easier when you consider the room's natural light, furniture, flooring and overall style.

Test Before You Commit

Paint a few sample areas and observe them at different times of day. A color can look very different in morning sunlight compared with evening lighting.

Think About the Whole Room

Look at your existing furniture, flooring and décor before selecting a color. Neutral shades are versatile, while deeper colors can add character to accent walls.

The best color is one that works with the elements you already love in the room.
