A paint job is a very tedious one, it can not be redone frequently. A R Woodworking INC believes in making sure that all the decisions taken are one hundred per cent accurate. We do not want our customers to select a color and once it is painted it is not the same as expected. A paint that looks good in a shop might not look the same in your home. Lighting, undertones, furniture, etc all these things change how the color actually looks. Our team pays meticulous attention to detail while helping you choose the paint color. Even something as basic as white may also be affected by the undertones of the walls. Choose wisely and with the help of our crew that has an eye for detail.

Lighting

The most common thing that is ignored and not taken into consideration while selecting a color. One needs to understand that light plays a major role in influencing the color. Lighting is not just the natural light that comes into the room but the lightbulbs, lamps, tube lights, etc. If we take the example of the north-facing room, they tend to be darker thus warm colors work best for them. On the other hand, the south-facing room has a constant light throughout. In these rooms, lighter color palettes are preferred. Seasons also influence the color of a room. The point here is that lighting affects the overall appearance of the color that you have decided. Keep lighting as the top priority always. Another tip that you can put to use is to pick the colors on a bright sunny day or a normal weather day in your area. This is because that kind of weather will be in your city for the majority of the time. So choose the color that looks good on that maximum number of days. If you like a color at any of your friends or family’s place do not make up your mind for that. Be sure to test it out and see for yourself. There can be a number of factors influencing the shade of the color.

Undertones

A color that you choose will be made of a mixture of two or more colors. There is going to be the dominant one and a lighter undertone. You will not even notice that the latter exists but in reality, it is going to make a lot of difference. Undertones can add or even change the appearance of a particular color when applied. Finding the undertone is easy. All you have to do is pick out the shade that you like and look at the bottom of the shade card which is the darkest color. From there you can figure out if the undertone is grey, red, brown or any other color. At times two colors might look the same from a distance but when placed together you will notice the difference. Ask your painter or the company you are hiring to explain more about the undertones. These two things are crucial and have to be given priority while remodeling a space. Our crew advises you to pick out the color while keeping in mind the undertones. For example, if you dislike red, you will not want your beige walls to have a red undertone. Rule out all the colors that you dislike using the above-mentioned method. Secondly, apply the paint on different walls of your house. Let the paint sit for twenty-four hours for it to dry and the actual shade to develop.
