Paint plays a huge role in the overall look and feel of a space, so knowing what color <em>family<\/em> you\u2019re drawn to helps guide other selections like cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and furnishings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should Wait to Pick the Exact Shade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, <em>locking in<\/em> the exact shade too soon can backfire. Paint colors look completely different depending on lighting, surrounding materials, and other design elements. Slightly different undertones in flooring, fabric, or tile can shift how a color reads in the room\u2014sometimes dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of committing to a specific paint name right away, focus on gathering all the major design elements first. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consider how natural and artificial light interact with the colors in the space throughout the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure your fabric, furniture, and material selections complement the undertones of the paint options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand how different sheens and finishes will impact the final application and durability of the paint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" data-id=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-3.png 200w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-3-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-3-180x180.png 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" data-id=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-4.png 200w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-4-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-4-180x180.png 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"385\" data-id=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-5.png 500w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-5-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-5-250x193.png 250w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-5-234x180.png 234w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-5-390x300.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"386\" data-id=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-6.png 500w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-6-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-6-250x193.png 250w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-6-233x180.png 233w, https:\/\/poisedandplumb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/When-to-choose-a-paint-color-6-389x300.png 389w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The blue you pick now may not look the same once everything else is in the room. Slightly different undertones really do make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing and Finalizing Your Paint Choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once most major elements are in place, <em>then<\/em> it\u2019s time to choose the exact shade. Get large paint chips (<a href=\"https:\/\/samplize.com\/\">Samplize<\/a> is my favorite resource for these) or sample pots in a few similar colors. Instead of painting directly on the wall (which can affect how colors read next to each other), paint large swatches on foam core boards and move them around the room at different times of day. This helps you see how the color interacts with lighting and surrounding materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the first option doesn\u2019t look quite right? No worries. Adjust the shade slightly and try again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Paint is one of the most flexible design elements, but it\u2019s also heavily influenced by its surroundings. Knowing your general color direction early is helpful, but waiting until later in the process to finalize your exact shade ensures a more harmonious end result\u2014whether you\u2019re designing, building, or renovating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a project coming up and need help making sure every decision aligns?
