How to pick out the perfect paint color
August 09, 2016

Hello all! I'm getting back into the groove after some time out of town with what else…a little DIY project. School is starting soon and I'm starting to feel the excitement of getting on a schedule again and preparing for fall. This is a fun time of the year for me because I'm usually fairly lazy over the summer (although I've been more productive than usual this year) and I get amped up to get things done.
For this project I joined up with Sherwin-Williams again to share more tips on picking out the perfect paint color. I KNOW this is something so many of you struggle with. I've been there. Remember my orange office? :) You will save yourself so much time and effort if you are sure of your paint color before you begin.
I'm working on a smaller project this time (more info in a minute) but I wanted to share how I picked out the perfect paint color. I've heard about the new ColorSnap system in the store (if you ever watch HGTV they've been sharing this) but when I walked in it was even better than I imagined:
THIS, my friends, is brilliant. I love it! I geek out about this kind of stuff, really.
It's so easy to find the color you're looking for because you start with a broader tone. Love. Neutrals are big and I think always will be, so one end is more of those. I gravitated towards these two because the are the gray/beige tones that I love:
When you turn one of the squares around (bring your kids -- they'll be entertained for hours) you get an array of colors in that tone:
Before paint chips were always arranged by color, which works of course, but they had about six colors per paint chip. You had to pull out each one to see everything. This is so. much. easier.
I found my beloved Analytical Gray (most of our house is painted this color) very quickly:
They are still arranged by tones, which is helpful as well.
As much as I love neutrals I was looking for something different this time. I'm painting our patio doors and really want to create some contrast and pull in some of the gray blues I've incorporated into the decor outside:
It took mere seconds for me to find the square I needed:
Isn't it pretty? I told you a couple years ago how I've completely changed my views on using blue in our home. I used to dislike blue but now I use it everywhere -- it's my favorite color.
When I turned the big square around I was excited to see my blue/gray options:
I found a bunch I liked immediately and just kept pulling:
You see the direction I'm going with this? Kind of a moody blue. It will make a statement on the back of our very neutral house.
These are the colors I ended up with and I also grabbed a chip of our shutter and trim color to compare them in the store:
This is the thing though -- do what I did. Grab as many colors as you like. You won't regret it -- I ended up going with a slightly different tone than I originally wanted.
Here is a before photo for you…the flowers are barely hanging on right now:
I painted that trim black last year and liked the dark contrast. We had our house trim painted this summer (for the first time in 12 years, yikes!) and they went ahead and repainted with the dark brown we use on our shutters instead.
This area gets full sun so I made sure to check out the paint chip in the area where it will be painted. This is important folks! I know it's easier to grab a chip and decide in the store but I cannot express to you enough how important it is to take it home or get a sample before you buy.
Check out the sample in the space you'll be using it. The same color will look different in different areas of your home. Darker rooms will look different than those with natural light. Paint in a room with fluorescent lights will look different than one with LED bulbs…there are a lot of variables.
So when I got the chips home and started checking them all, I went with a color with a lot more aqua in it than I originally planned:
Refuge for the win! I really, really love it. It's a beautiful blue, right? And it pulls in the color of our outdoor rug nicely.
The helpful folks at my Sherwin-Williams store helped me pick out the perfect paint for this project. I'm excited to try it out! It's called SnapDry and it's made to dry quicker so it's great for doors. I'll show you the makeover later this week!

ReplyDeleteI just bought a house, so this gift card would be amazing! My store is Bellingham - Downtown #8605
ReplyDeleteLove that color! We used a similar shade before in our bathroom. Totally random, but somewhat related to your outdoor area, how does your deck hold up with the outdoor rug? We have a cement slab that is not so pretty to look at and instead of spending tons to re-do or cover it, I was thinking of one of those. I though maybe they get all moldy, but wasn't sure. Thoughts? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI hope my comment doesn't get lost amongst the sea of comments but I had a question - I LOVE that your door trim is black and I was hoping to paint mine black too. Are your window trims also black or are they white such that just the door trim is black? Does that contrast bother you?
ReplyDeleteMy store is 2590 Lemay Ferry Road, St. Louis, Missouri - This would really help me get motivated!!!! I have a ton of painting projects ahead and it has been a rough year so far. This is a great give-away!

ReplyDeleteI used Sherwin Williams paint in my bedroom and loved the color. So I thought I would us it downstairs in the living room. I had a little left in the can. Oh my goodness it looked pink. Tried it in the kitchen even worse. I went to the store and pulled my favorites and went home to check. I went back to the store and purchased samples. Good thing I did. What looks good in one room may look so different in another plus a painted sample is the best way to be sure. Plus now I have small samples to use on little projects,I loved the color but not on the wall

ReplyDeleteour store is Faribault MN #3037 and we have been happily buying our paint here since 1985! back in the old days, their sales consultants would come out to the house to help us pick the right color - you know how tricky it is with base colors and sunlight... although they won't come out any longer, I still love their paint - Duration is our fave - and we keep buying those little sample jugs to test it ourselves. would be great to see those very cool color panels come to our store! Wow! that is genius! Thank you for your blog - it's the only one I read faithfully and I really enjoy your sense of style and humor! Blessings to you!

We use Proclassic on all our rental properties as well as in our own home. I am stoked to try the Snap Dry as our house is getting all it's doors painted this fall (when it's not so hot). I am using Fireweed #6328. Going to try SnapDry as this is one of the biggest issues with painting doors.
ReplyDeleteMy store is casa view in Dallas tx. The only place we buy paint. And I've been dying to reprint my front door. I'm over the red and ready for blue. Excited about snap dry paint!
ReplyDeleteMy local store is Savannah #2264. Our entire house needs to be repainted - what a job! I am looking forward to lightening the interior with neutrals similar to the gray you used. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
ReplyDeleteMy store is #1171 Medina, Ohio!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to paint my first gray room! Have the curtains...just need paint...
I love SW paint and have been buying from my favorite store, #2617 in Northport Al for several years. Everyone in the store is so nice. They know me by name. They have helped me fix a couple of "goofs" over the years.
ReplyDeleteThis gift card would be awesome! Fingers crossed.
My store is #2063 and we have spent so much money there in the last 2 years since the flood. We still have miles of trim to caulk and paint and $200 would go a long way toward actually completing our home renovation. Thanks so much for the giveaway! I love when you partner with SW!
ReplyDeleteMy local store is Katy-Grand Parkway #7489. $200 would be great to use on our new unpainted house. We are slowly building our own house and any extra help would be wonderful for an expensive process!
ReplyDeleteJust moved into a new to us house and really could use some new paint. Our store is #8003 in Tucson, AZ. http://www.sherwin-williams.com/store-locator/paint-store/tucson/az/8003/#directions/to:8003

ReplyDeleteMy store is New Braunfels, Texas #7109. The woman who works there is so helpful!
ReplyDeleteI am halfway between the Auburn, NY and the Ithaca, NY store... but I would probably lean towards Auburn! I'm looking for colors to update the foyer in the office I work in and having a terrible time - I can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteJonesboro #7681.. We are remodeling an old house and could really use the paint...and the savings!
