Color & LRV Consultation
Consultant: Sarah Jenkins, Lead Interior Architect
Choosing the wrong paint color is the most common home decorating mistake. Colors look completely different in store aisles under fluorescent lights than they do on your walls under natural daylight or warm evening LEDs.
In this specialized color consultation, we analyze your room's compass orientation to see how the natural light shifts throughout the day. We balance the color scheme using the 60-30-10 dominant, secondary, and accent formula and select paint values with the correct Light Reflectance Value (LRV).
Our Scientific Approach to Color
Natural Light Orientation Review
North-facing rooms receive cool, blue-tinted light, making cool grays look clinical. We map your room orientation to select colors that counteract these light distortions.
Light Reflectance Value (LRV) Balancing
LRV measures the percentage of light a color reflects. For main walls, we target a balanced LRV that feels open and bright without looking chalky or reflecting glare.
Coordinating Sheens & Trim Schedules
We specify the exact paint sheens for walls, high-traffic zones, trim, and doors to guarantee durability and optimal light play.
