Color Consulting

Pick the Right Color, Right From the Start

Fix what feels “off” in your space, inside or out — through strategic color, light, and material decisions.

Most spaces don’t fail because of furniture or lighting. They fail because of color.

I help you understand why your space isn’t working — and give you a clear, cohesive color system that actually fits your style, your space’s lighting conditions, and how you work/live/play in it.

About Me...

I am a university professor of color theory and design, specializing in how color behaves across materials, light, and space. You can trust that your space is being evaluated through a deep understanding of color systems, not surface-level trends or guess work.

My consultation work focuses on translating your ideas and concepts into livable systems — so you can make color decisions both inside and out of your space with clarity instead of guesswork.

Let’s figure out what’s off, and make it feel right, together.

Who is this for?

  • Homeowners or Small Business Owners stuck on color and paint decisions

  • People renovating or updating interiors or exteriors of their home or business

  • Anyone whose space “almost works” but is not quite there and needs a little something

  • Clients who want clarity, not endless options

What You Get…

  • Clear, actionable color direction

  • Specific color and paint recommendations

  • Palette systems you can actually follow

  • Confidence in your decisions

  • No guesswork needed, just a real plan

How Color Changes in Different Lighting

This comparison shows how color appears in-store and how it shifts under warm and cool lighting. What looks stable in isolation changes once it enters a real environment

Before & After

Before Color Consultation

  • Colors feel slightly “off” but you can’t explain why

  • Rooms or spaces that don’t connect to each other, and you want more visual flow

  • Undertones clash (warm vs. cool confusion)

  • Paint samples keep failing

  • The space feels unfinished or visually noisy

After Color Consultation

  • Clear, confident color direction

  • Rooms and exteriors flow naturally, from one surface to the next

  • Undertones are aligned and intentional

  • Materials feel cohesive instead of competing

  • The space feels unified, grounded, and complete
