February 13, 2011 -- summer is right around the corner, and that means that home owners are thinking about giving new life to their residences with new paint jobs. The hardest part of the painting process isn't choosing your contractor,
- it's choosing your paint colors.
To achieve the color combination you want home owners will need to go with a darker version of the color they originaly select for their house painting project. Shearer Painting in Seattle, WA has teamed up with Robin Daly of Daly's paint store to create a video about selecting a darker color. Robin, our color expert from Daly's paint store, discusses how a home reflects out into the atmosphere, so that going darker than you think you should is a good idea. As a house reflects, it loses intensity, because the light is just going out into space. For interiors, the walls are reflecting each other, so their colors look "deeper," and you can get away with a lighter color - not so with exterior painting.

C2 is a high-quality, LoVo, non-toxic, environmentally-friendly paint that employs the 16-colorant European system (as opposed to the 12-colorant North American system; C2 paint is the first paint to do this). According to the C2, its colorants are "made of finely ground artist-grade pigments that create an unmatchable luminosity and depth." This depth will allow the color to head toward on better/thicker, creating maximum coverage for your walls.

Ceiling paint sheen should always be flat. Ceilings are not hit directly by light coming through windows, and most indoor lighting is aimed in other directions as well. Ceilings are generally in shadow. To brighten them up, choose a shade two places lighter if working from a sample strip. You can also blend in some white paint into whatever color you have chosen for the walls.
