I am a true color genius

  • Marc Chagall

  • Georgia O’Keefe
  • Zippy Sandler?

Well, maybe I don’t belong in the Museum of Modern Art, but with a little help that I found on my smartphone, I now have an eye for color. While I can’t create the world’s next masterpiece  I can choose the PERFECT colors for my home.

Mission: Update the guest room

You see, the guest room is blue – well, it’s almost a robin’s egg blue color, and I find it rather uninspiring. So, I’ve decided that it’s time for a little color updating. But, choosing paint colors has always been somewhat of a nightmare for me. Those stacks of paint chips I bring home from Lowe’s start looking alike after about 45 minutes.

Goal: Find the PERFECT color

I want to pick up JUST the right color. That wash in the background of my favorite poster over the bed. I’d need a SUITCASE to bring home all of the chips, and even then it’s a hit or miss proposition. So…what did I do?

 

Procedure: My step by step process

  1. I downloaded the Olympic Paint ColorClix App to my phone – No more running to the store for a bazillion paint chips, and it’s easy to find the PERFECT color. The Olympic Paint ColorClix App has every color you can dream of and they’re all at your fingertips.
  2. I snapped a picture of my favorite poster that has the colors that I want to bring out in the room (the one you see in the background on my videos).
  3. ColorClix grabbed the main colors from the portion that I snapped, as well as the complementary colors, designer colors and more
  4. I chose the perfect color from within the artwork. It’s JUST what I’m looking for, without ALL OF THE WORK.
  5. I can even SHARE it with Mr. S before heading to Lowe’s to buy the paint.

Outcome: I am a color GENIUS

That’s right a genius. Well, maybe not in the Boticelli sense, I still can’t paint a portrait or a landscape, but I CERTAINLY can paint my room the color that will make it both peaceful AND reflect the artwork on the walls.

How can YOU become a color Genius?

1. Download the Olympic Paint ColorClix App

2. Follow Olympic Paint on Facebook for INSPIRATION

3. Share your beautiful room on Pinterest  – I’d LOVE to see it.

    I like the app! It’s less work. With that app, every color can easily be distinguished according to our likes. I’m gonna download this from play store. Thanks for sharing Zippy.
