Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a color consultation cost in Texas?
A professional color consultation in Texas costs $150 to $400 for an in-home visit covering 1 to 5 rooms. Whole-home plans run $400 to $800. Virtual consultations are available for $75 to $200. Many painting contractors in Texas include a free or discounted color consultation when you hire them for the painting project. The investment prevents costly repainting of colors you end up disliking.
What does a color consultant do during a home visit?
A color consultant evaluates your home's natural and artificial lighting, existing finishes like flooring and countertops, architectural style, and your personal preferences. They bring large color samples and fan decks to test against your surfaces. The consultant provides a written color plan specifying exact paint names, codes, and finish types for each room. Most visits take 1 to 2 hours.
Why do paint colors look different in my Texas home?
Texas has intense natural light that affects how paint colors appear. South-facing rooms get warm light that shifts cool colors warmer, while north-facing rooms appear cooler. The strong Texas afternoon sun can wash out lighter colors on exterior walls. Overhead fluorescent lighting changes colors differently than the warm LED bulbs popular in Texas homes. A consultant accounts for all these factors.
What exterior colors work best for Texas homes?
Light and neutral colors like warm whites, pale grays, and soft beiges reflect heat and resist fading from the intense Texas sun. Earth tones complement the Texas landscape. Dark exteriors absorb more heat, increasing cooling costs. For traditional Texas ranch-style homes, warm stone and cream tones are popular. Modern builds often use contrasting dark trim with light siding for a contemporary look.
Should I hire a color consultant or pick colors myself?
A color consultant prevents expensive mistakes. The average homeowner buys 3 to 5 sample colors before choosing, and many repaint within a year because they dislike the result. Consultants understand undertones, lighting science, and color theory. For a single room repaint, you may feel comfortable choosing solo. For whole-home projects or exterior changes, professional guidance saves time, money, and frustration.
Can a color consultant help with selling my home?
Yes, color consultants specializing in real estate staging recommend neutral palettes that appeal to the widest range of Texas buyers. Greige, warm white, and soft gray are proven seller favorites. The right colors make rooms feel larger and brighter, which photographs well for online listings. Many Texas real estate agents recommend a pre-listing color consultation for maximum buyer appeal.
