5 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Paint Colors for Your Home

Choosing paint colors can feel overwhelming with thousands of options available. Here are our top tips:

1. Start with inspiration - Look at magazines, Pinterest, or your favorite spaces for color ideas.

2. Consider the lighting - Natural light in New Mexico is different than other states. Test colors at different times of day.

3. Use the 60-30-10 rule - 60% dominant color (walls), 30% secondary (trim, furniture), 10% accent.

4. Don't forget undertones - Grays can look blue or purple, beiges can look pink. Always test!

5. Test before committing - Buy sample sizes and paint large swatches on your walls.
