Paint color is something you're going to live with for a long time
. You don't want to spend all of that time and money having your home painted, only to choose the wrong color! Here's a list of four ideas to help you to choose the perfect color for your house painting job.
1) Use your imagination. 'Flip through' different colors in your mind. Which one helps you to feel the best?
2) Understand that colors can 'nourish' and strengthen you. You can try this experiment.... while driving home one dark night, notice which neon colors seem to nourish or strengthen you. Do you want to 'drink' in the red lights? Do you want to 'drink in' the green lights? The research shows that colors provide different frequencies that your body is responding to.
3) Understand that some colors can actually 'weaken' you. Research on color shows that certain colors make a person feel weaker. This research was originally done in a prison setting. Prisoners were holding up heavy weights. When they were exposed to certain colors, they could not hold up the weights!
4) Invest in the 'test colors' available in paint stores. Most paint shops will now sell you small samples of paint for under $5. Take the small can of paint home, put it on a two by two foot area that needs to be painted, and see what it's like to 'live with' the color for a few days. These little sample cans are a brand new, wonderful addition to America's paint stores.
