Selecting Interior Paint Colors Selecting Interior Paint Colors Choosing interior colors can be both fun and successful if you know what to pay attention to. Following is an outline of factors to consider.
Different colors have the effect of enhancing or suppressing certain activities.
For this reason, it makes sense to match the psychological effect of the color to activities you wish to support in any particular room. Naturally, individual preference and personal reactions will also come into play. Relative access to natural light should also impact your color choices. For example, cool colors are good for sunny, southern exposures, while warm colors work well in rooms that do not get direct sunlight.
