How do I choose the right paint color for my rooms or home?

Choosing the exact paint color from a paper chip provided by paint vendors is very difficult, even for professionals.  Use the chips to narrow your choice, but always buy a sample of the color for testing.  You may spend $15.00 to be sure the color choice is what you want before you spend much more, especially if a large area is to be painted.  Deciding that you do not like the color after an entire room has been painted for few days can be disappointing and expensive.  Lighting factors, flooring colors etc. all play a part in how a paint color looks in the room.  Thus, the importance of a test sample can not be over emphasized.  On the color scheme guide’s source page that accompanies each color scheme guide, in our product line, I suggest approximately 6 different paint choices that will coordinate with each color scheme.  They are to be used as a starting point only! Please follow the above testing suggestions without fail!  The provided paint information, gives you the vendor, color number, color name and my interpretation of the color for your reference.  Choosing paint colors really is one of the most difficult aspects of decorating, but if you follow the above rules, you will never be disappointed with the results and save yourself from costly mistakes.  Good Luck!
