Beware of ‘Free’ Online Color Consulting Services

Free services do not always equate to quality services. With free online color consulting sessions, you get what you pay for. Paint manufacturers are offering free online consultation sessions, but one should be wary of this seemingly sweet-sounding deal. Paint companies may push certain colors on clients to boost popularity and offer a limited selection of paint colors. Making decisions based off of these free consultations may end up being a costly, drastic mistake.

To really ensure you choose the perfect paint color, you need an experienced professional to come into your home and evaluate the space as whole. Expert color consultants have access to a multitude of different paint manufacturers products and have a broader range of colors to offer their clients. Factors such as natural lighting and furniture can’t be accurately taken into account online. More importantly, the true color of paint isn’t precise over a camera. If you are seeking input online about color samples painted on a wall, it is impossible to tell what the color actually looks like in person. While these free consultations can be a great jumping off point to narrow down possible color options. What you really need is someone experienced to come into your home. Would you rather have an apprentice give you advice over the phone, or hire a professional with over 15 years of experience to find the perfect color? #colors#consultants#furniture#interiordesign#paintinganddecorating#jobs#sidehustles
