Frequently asked questions
?Is this a real paint brand recommendation?
No. This tool suggests color directions and HEX-style palette ideas, not specific paint brand SKUs. Use the direction to test real paint samples from your preferred brand.
?Should I still test paint samples?
Yes. Always test samples or peel-and-stick swatches in your room. Light, flooring, furniture, and sheen can change how a color looks.
?What if my room has very low light?
The tool leans warmer and softer for low-light rooms because cool grays and blue-whites can look flat or cold without enough daylight.
?Can I use this for cabinets?
Yes, especially for kitchens and bathrooms. For cabinet-specific prep and supplies, use the Painting Project Planner after choosing your color direction.
?Why does the tool suggest colors to avoid?
A good recommendation is not just what to use. It also helps you avoid colors that may clash with your lighting, fixed finishes, or mood goal.
?Can I copy the palette?
Yes. After generating a plan, use Copy Color Plan to copy the full palette and notes.
Choose paint colors with fewer second guesses
A paint color looks different from room to room. Use this tool to narrow the direction, then test samples in your actual space before committing to a full gallon.
