Color & finish guidance

Choose a finish
that feels like home.

Color, sheen, texture, and the existing materials all work together. Use these ideas to begin the conversation, then review real samples in your space.

A considered palette

Start with the room.
Then choose the color.

Look at the flooring, stone, wood, furnishings, and daylight. A color that feels right in one room can look different in another.

Warm ivory

Soft stone

Muted green

Deep forest

Charcoal

Illustrative palette only. These are not specified paint products or approved project colors. Screen colors are approximate; review physical samples in the home’s lighting before approval.

Details that change the result

Color

Compare samples beside the materials that will stay. Look at them in daylight and evening light, and on the intended surface where possible.

Sheen

Discuss how reflective the finish should look, the room’s use, and the surface condition. Sheen names and appearances vary between product lines.

Wood

Grain, species, previous finishes, and repairs affect stain appearance. Approve a sample on the actual wood or a suitable matching piece.

Before application

Make the selection
clear and specific.

Physical sample & written approval

Samples help set appearance expectations; they do not replace a suitable surface preparation and coating system.

Ivory cabinetry, a wood island, and a coffered ceiling in a bright kitchen — Light cabinetry, warm wood, and architectural detail. Product colors and finishes are not specified.

Wood ceiling and white structural trim on a covered terrace at dusk — Natural wood and painted trim in evening light. Review final selections on physical samples.
