Swatches, swatches, swatches.
If you have one room and you get 20 swatches to decide on a color what about 5 rooms or more. @#$#@ That is what I have encountered time and again when helping people pick colors. When you are in the store looking for colors it is so easy to pull out handfuls of color swatches. Just to get them home and find you can not decide on a color. The store has 5000 Calvin lighting that simulates daylight. You do not have that light. You sit at the kitchen table with your incandescent warm yellow lighting and everything looks different.
Divide and Conquer.
First, go to an area with natural daylight. Eliminate anything that now looks too yellow, or green. Now eliminate colors that have the wrong color in them, like pinks, or purples. Now narrow down the colors by temperature. Warmer colors on the right cooler colors on the left. From there look at the colors in the room that you are going to paint. Look at the furniture the accessories and the floor. Voila! Much easier. Good luck. Next, a better way to do the same thing.
