The Sherwin Williams – Color Visualizer Program does a fabulous job, providing you with a host of ideas and tips on choosing a new color for your home.

Helpful Tips on Getting Started with Color Basics – from Sherwin Williams:

Begin at the Beginning

Determine what features or existing finishes in the room you would consider permanent.

Create a Focal Point 

Emphasize your home's attractive architectural features, such as crown molding or arched window treatments.

Unify the Color Flow

You can unify rooms by using a common color palette. Create distinct spaces by altering the shade and hue palettes.

Emphasize or Minimize

Color can emphasize certain features – and minimize others. A long narrow room will look wider if you use a slightly darker color on the shorter walls and a lighter color on the longer walls.

Reflect on Light Sources

Remember that the color you choose may look different at various times of the day and night. The warm tones of incandescent lights will have a different influence on the color than the natural light of day.
