The Question
That is a popular question on many paint forums, blogs and google searches. Here at Blogging Painters we wanted to explore the options and present readers with a variety of choices, so I asked it here. With all the different business models out there, it is nice to have choices and options, I hope you found one that works for you!
The Contributors who answered
I’d like to thank the experts that contributed to Color Week:
Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting explained how to use Benjamin Moore Color Stories, I finally understand what “Color Spectrum” means!
Barbara Jacobs Color and Design shared a new Color Visualizer. A great service for those who need help picking the right colors and seeing the home “virtually” painted.
Donna Frasca and her Color Recipes, such as Comfort Colors, Comfort Foods are always a treat for the eyes, and a great resource to share with homeowners when they ask, “What are the popular colors”.
Thank you ladies for bringing us some color!
