“The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.”
– Coco Chanel
Coco Chanel said it best. You pick out clothing based on what color looks good on you. You know what color makes your eyes pop and what color washes you out. Why shouldn’t it be the same for picking out paint color for your home?
If you’ve hit a wall trying to select a paint color, turn to your closet for answers. That seafoam green scarf could become an accent wall for the living room. Your favorite royal blue skinny jeans could inspire your next bathroom renovation. Bring personality into your home by identifying your signature color.
Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap® Visualizer app allows you to capture inspiration on your iPhone or Android by matching images you take to Sherwin-Williams paint colors. Simply snap a picture of the outfit or clothing item you like, and the app will tell you the corresponding Sherwin-Williams paint color. The free app is perfect for going from cloth to color.
If your signature color is bright and you are concerned about it overpowering a room, consider adding pops of it to neutral colors like Sherwin-Williams 2016 Color of the Year, Alabaster (SW 7008). Alabaster is neither stark nor overly warm, but rather an understated and alluring hue of white. Use it to combine a clean, fresh look with your signature color for a more personalized space.
Clothing is expressive and allows for personalization and individualization. Why not let your home do the same?
