Question
We're going bonkers trying to decide what colors to paint our living room walls and trim. There are too many choices. Is there some kind of expert panel out there that chooses hot colors so we can just copy their picks and be done with it. We're not choosy. (Fern from Golden, CO)
Answer
Fern, you're not alone in being confused by color choices. Walk into any paint store and you'll find zillions of chips with slight variations on the same color - even a blinding array of whites. It's easy to be confused. We may have an expert body who can help you and other homeowners make some decisions based on "color stories."
Global Color Research, the 1999 UK-based color consultancy studio, is in business to make strong color and trend forecasting to all the markets that rely on fashion-based color choices. Serious money in product development - from appliance colors to paints and wallpapers - depends on predicting colors based on solid market research.
