We'll talk about the atmosphere you want to create, which colours will work best, and how to harmonize new colours with your existing decor.

Colour Questions We Get Most
Short answers from our colour consultations.
How do I pick a white that does not look grey in Vancouver light?
Our winter light is grey and a lot of rooms face north, so cool whites can look flat. The whites we specify most are Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace, Cloud White and Dove White - test large swatches on two walls and look at them morning and late afternoon before deciding.
What are undertones and why do they matter?
Every colour leans slightly toward another - a beige toward pink or green, a grey toward blue or purple. Undertones show most next to fixed finishes like flooring, counters and tile, so we compare swatches against those, not against a white sheet of paper.
What colour works for a kitchen?
Pick wall colour after the fixed things - cabinets, counters, backsplash, floor. Choose a scrubbable finish; kitchens and bathrooms get more washing than any other room.
What colour is best for a study or home office?
Mid-tone, low-contrast colours that do not glare on screens. Keep the wall behind your monitor calmer than the rest, and avoid high gloss where light hits it.
Does ceiling colour matter?
A ceiling slightly lighter than the walls, or a white with the same undertone, makes a room feel taller. In older houses with uneven plaster, flat ceiling paint hides flaws best.
