Tips for interior colour design:
Colours in interiors often appear more chromatic, darker, feel warmer or colder than the chosen colour sample or painted reference surface. We have developed this unique and practical colour selection to help consumers and paint shops overcome this challenge. Other tips for interior colouring tips are:
When viewing the colour sample in a store setting, place it against a white background to accurately assess its true appearance.
Consider viewing the colour sample under lighting conditions similar to the natural light in the room you intend to paint, to better estimate its suitability.
Keep in mind that colours tend to appear slightly darker and more chromatic when applied to walls compared to the colour sample.
