TIMESTAMPS 3:34 - LIVE Q&A Episode: Thursday, May 7 at 7:30pm Central Time Instagram and Facebook Live 4:15 - Dad Joke of the week 06:08 - Today we are talking about one of the questions we get asked most frequently - how to pick paint colors for your home. The DON’Ts and DOs of paint colors 7:22 - DON’T pick a paint color solely off what you see online, but DO use online inspiration as a starting point to make a list of options. 11:10 - DON’T only look at the main concentrated color within a color, but DO consider the undertones in a color. The best way to tell undertones is to compare to the most purest of that color 16:53 - DON’T look at paint colors in isolation, but DO consider the color wheel. It’s important to test the colors in your house because there are factors that affect how the color looks in your home. 22:51 - DON’T automatically go for the most concentrated version of that color, but DO consider a more muted version of that color. 24:57 - DON’T ignore your trim color, but DO consider repainting your trim if necessary 25:36 - DON’T start painting just because you like the swatch, but DO paint a swatch on every wall you plan to paint so you see how it reacts in different times of day, weather, lighting, etc. 27:07 - DON’T feel restricted to only a certain brand or concentration of your color, but DO know what options you have. 31:06 - DON’T paint a different color in every room of your house, but DO create some consistency and flow throughout your home. 32:22 - DON’T think that a paint color will save you from a really dark room, but DO consider your lighting and listen to last week’s episode. 35:19 - Things We’re Loving Jeremy: Vintage Dresser Lamp Chandler: Romabio Paints Limewash
