Test large samples
Paint a large sample or use a big sample board and move it around the room. Look at it in morning, afternoon and evening.
Understand your light
North-facing rooms are cooler and softer, and south-facing rooms are warmer and brighter. The same color can look very different in each.
Watch undertones
Whites and grays carry hidden undertones of yellow, blue or pink. Compare them to your floors, counters and fabrics, not only to each other.
Pick the sheen and trim
Matte hides flaws on walls, satin cleans easily in halls and kitchens and semi-gloss protects trim and doors.
