How Do You Pick Color ??? email--rowanexpressions@gmail.com

I have been very comfortable with color always. Shopping at a big box store one day I ran into a person who was VERY DISTRESSED !

Being me, I asked her what was the problem. She said she needed to pick a color for her kitchen walls. So she showed me the cabinet color and the counter top etc. Everything was some shade of white and there are an infinite amount of shades and hues in EVERY COLOR! No wonder it's a problem. Back to my anxious shopper. She said someone told her to get a grey shade and showed me some color chips. The problem was she couldn't visualize how that would look like. So she had four different sample cans to try. All the greys were very cool and would look awful with the warm hues of the whites that were in her kitchen already.I told her I loved color and would be glad to help. While she was busy, I dropped a few color chips into her cart. They were white shades tinted with a very light buttercup yellow, another a tint of soft aqua and a third with a tint of very soft olive. All would be a very warm and comfortable answer to her problem. When she notice them she gave me a questioning look. I said "just a thought". She gave back those greys, gave me a big smile and a warm thank you.

Flying home one day, I sat next to a couple and got into a long conversation with the lady. It seemed she had a similar problem. She showed me the pictures of her kitchen, which was soft gold. The granite counter tops were a combination of different browns, creams, with touches of soft olive and gold. The kitchen was open unto the dining area. She didn't know how to transition from one area unto the next without it all being the same color. So I made suggestions, which she seamed to like.This has been happening to me for years. It was time to get this site and blog up and running and help people. So here we are. Any thoughts?
