tint into the paint base, a mechanical failure of the dispenser or ruining out of the tint it self,
during the tinting process can be time consuming to fix it, but not impossible with a experienced
professional paint specialist.
The biggest problem is when you think the paint was perfectly tinted and was not.
You get the paint on the store drive circa 20 miles, get back to the job site to
start to work. When you open the can you look inside and something looks wrong,
and definitely was wrong the paint does not match your color choice.

• Ask the professional that have mixed your paint to show you the final color. And you shod not have any problems.

If you have any questions just ask me.

Using Color Psychology to Sell Your Home

A Client of mine was questioning about with color he should paint his house that he was planing to sell in a couple years from now
and at the same time enjoy the new color scheme before actually sell it.
and I found this Precious article from the Professor Jeanette Fisher, Brought to you by: Painting Project, Inc, Marlborough, MA, House Painting Contractor MA

Using Color Psychology to Sell Your Home

When painting your home for resale, choosing the right colors can make a huge difference in your paycheck at closing. For instance, did you know that the exterior color of houses selling most quickly is a certain shade of yellow, but that choosing the wrong shade of yellow can kill a sale?

You'll find many brochures in paint stores, showing various combinations of exterior paint colors. But most people don't realize that most of those combinations actually include three colors, and not just two. Limiting your exterior paint scheme to just two colors also limits your income potential.

For a fast sale, think fun colors and go for a third, or even a fourth, exterior color. Think "Disneyland Main Street," where every shop is painted in glorious multi-colors. Adding more colors will also add definition to the various architectural details of your home. Use gloss or semi-gloss paint on wood trim.

The Psychology of Exterior Colors

When choosing exterior colors, take the sales price of your home into account. Certain colors, especially muted, complex shades, attract wealthy or highly-educated buyers, whereas buyers with less income or less education generally prefer simpler colors. A complex color contains tints of gray or brown, and usually requires more than one word to describe, such as "sage green," as opposed to "green."

On the other hand, simple colors are straightforward and pure. Generally, houses in the lower price range sell faster and for higher prices when painted in simple colors like yellow or tan, accented by white, blue, or green trim.

The Psychology of Interior Colors

Using colored, rather than bland, white walls will increase your profit potential. Lynette Jennings tested the perception of room size and color, and discovered that a room painted white appeared only appeared larger to a few people when compared to an identical room painted in color – and the perceived difference was only about six inches! Most people also look better when surrounded by color, and feel happier, and since buyers pick houses that make them feel happy, that knowledge can put dollars in your pocket at closing!

Entryways should bring the exterior colors into the house. Repeating shades of the exterior throughout your home will make the entire home seem to be in harmony. Living and family rooms painted in a slightly lighter shade of the exterior color will ensure that you've picked a color your buyers like, because if they didn't like your exterior colors, they wouldn't have bothered to look inside. If they loved the exterior colors, they'll love the interior, too.

When choosing interior colors, consider the use of each room. For instance, kitchen and dining areas that are painted in "food colors," such as coffee browns, celery greens, and scrambled egg yellows, feel natural.

Since, deeper shades of color imply intimacy and serenity, I like to paint master bedrooms a medium shade of green or blue for warm selling seasons, and rouge red for cooler weather. Other bedrooms can be painted in creamy tones of green, blue, or a pale shell pink. (See the chapter on the Psychology of Color in my book "Joy to the Home: Secrets of Interior Design Psychology" for further information.)

Selling Season

Always consider your selling season (the time of year you'll be marketing your home) and climate when choosing colors. Estimate the amount of time you'll need to get your home ready for sale, and then add on extra days for unexpected delays. Use cool colors, such as blues, greens, and grays, to sell during spring and summer, and warm colors, such as yellows, reds, and maroons, when selling in the fall and winter.

Color Intensity

My husband and I usually use lighter colors when painting the exteriors of our investment dollhouses, because it makes them appear larger. On the other hand, our cabin in the woods looks richer when painted a darker color. When we decided to have it painted, I considered the usual cabin colors of dark brown and barn red, but fell in love with Olympic's gorgeous "Gooseberry" plum color.

When getting ready to paint your house, look at the colors of neighboring houses and choose colors that harmonize, yet stand out from the crowd. Colors that clash badly with other houses will detract from the overall neighborhood.

At the beginning of the article, I told you that homes with yellow exteriors sell the quickest. But which shade of yellow sells best? First, the yellows to avoid: yellows with green undertones look sickly to most buyers, and yellows with orange undertones give buyers an impression of cheapness.

The best-selling yellow exterior color is actually a pale, sunny yellow, especially when complimented with one or more carefully-chosen accent colors. For instance, a semi-gloss white trim will give your home a clean and fresh look, and adding a third color, such as green, can make your home even more attractive to prospective buyers.

Colors affect human beings in many ways, and by using the principles of Color Psychology, you can make your home stand out from the competition, sell more quickly, and at a higher price.

Don't be Afraid to Spin that Old Color Wheel!

If you're looking to step out of your interior design comfort zone, there's one way to do it painlessly and easily: try some of the hot new paint hues that are available at your local paint store.

If you've just moved into a new home, try adding some dynamic splashes of color to those drab, neutral walls--something that reflects your individual personality. If you've already lived in your home for a while, you can revitalize your walls by adding touches of bold colors.

You'll find that paint companies have made it much easier for you to add drama to your interior walls. They've created better paint, with less odor and less spatter problems, and they're eager to offer advice on how to spice up your interior walls.

Paint Color Choices

If you find yourself somewhat intimidated by old color wheel, which as traditionally told designers what colors go with what other colors, perhaps you'd do better just to think in terms of color families. You can also begin to take notice of particular color combinations that catch your eye as you travel about your daily routine. Then, once you see something you like, talk to your local paint store about recreating that look in your own home.

According to paint and décor experts, the blue-and-white spa-inspired color trend that dominated many recent decorating schemes has waned, and many people are now turning to other pastels, especially in bedrooms and baths, where soft pinks, pale yellows, and misty lavenders have been growing in popularity.

As for specific colors, a yellowy-green color from Dutch Boy called Peaceful Pines has become popular, according to its manufacturer. Glidden has seen their Golden Kiwi on the increase, which spices up neutral and dark hues. Pratt and Lambert has a color that's somewhere between aqua and teal blue that they call Boucle that's showing signs of popularity, as well. A new color that is hot for Pittsburgh Paints is called Cathedral Glass, which is described as being a very organic color, sort of a blending of grass and sky. Behr also has seen an increase in the use of a warm, natural-looking green color they call Mother Earth. Duron's bold red color called Ablaze is a hot-seller at the moment, as is Sherwin-Williams' intense bluish green called Jargon Jade. Finally, Benjamin Moore has seen their purple-based color Queen's Wreath becoming increasingly popular.

Regardless of what new colors you choose, this time of year is a great time to work on your home's interior painting scheme. You'll be amazed at what a simple thing like changing the color of your walls can do to brighten your spirits and add a little more zest to your life.
