Need Help Choosing the Perfect Paint Color?

Here’s Some Advice from the Experts at CMC Painting Company of Tampa!

There’s nothing more inviting than a professionally painted home. From the expertly painted front door to accent walls that pop with color, a beautifully painted home makes an impactful first impression, especially to prospective buyers.

But even if you’re not selling your home, an attractive yet balanced color scheme puts the finishing touches on your interior decor.

With a dizzying number of hues to choose from these days, selecting paint color can be completely overwhelming. (Have you seen how many shades of white there are?) So we’ve asked the professionals at CMC Painting Company in Tampa to help us avoid paint-selection-paralysis by developing a smart color plan. Here is what owner, Jerry Garza had to say.

  • Start with inspiration: a striking piece of furniture or colorful run that will be featured in the room you are painting. Use colorful patterns that you already like in other things as your guide, like a favorite pillow, a piece of artwork or a plush throw.
  • If you are starting from scratch, think about how you want to feel in the room. Reds and oranges are bold colors that make a statement. Blues and greens tend to be more restful and serene.
  • Consider what kind of lighting will be in the room as that will change how the color appears, especially throughout the day.
  • Test out your final selections by painting a smaller test area that will dry quickly and can be quickly redone if needed.
  • Accent walls are great ways to showcase striking colors that may be too much on a major wall.
  • Try the Sherwin Williams color visualizer. You can upload your own photos, paint rooms virtually and explore interior and exterior paint colors and design ideas.
