Picking paint sounds easy but it can be overwhelming once you see all the shades.
The trick is to test before committing. Buy small samples and paint patches on the wall. Look at them in daylight and at night because lighting changes how colors appear.
Neutral colors like beige, gray or soft white are timeless and good for resale. Accent walls in darker tones like navy or forest green add depth without overpowering.
Think about the mood. Warm tones feel cozy while cool tones feel calming. Always match the color to the room’s purpose. A bright yellow may work in a kitchen but not in a bedroom.
Final thought: Paint is the cheapest way to transform a home but the right choice makes all the difference. What color would you try in your next project?
