How to do a Professional Color Consultation

What happens here

Initiate a broader discussion to ascertain the client's general color preferences, asking if they envision a 'green house, brown house, blue house, yellow house, or black house' to understand their desired aesthetic. Identify significant limiting factors such as the existing roof color (e.g., bronze with grays and black) and the colors of adjacent houses. Explain that while a fresh coat of the current color will make it 'pop' if it's faded, these external elements play a crucial role in narrowing down suitable color schemes to ensure harmony within the environment and avoid duplication with neighbors. Emphasize that natural light outside will dramatically change how colors appear compared to indoor lighting.

Goal: Determine the client's general color preferences (e.g., warm, cool, light, dark) and identify external constraints like roof color and neighboring houses.

What they say

but I like to um typically start off by saying um do you want a greenhouse do you want a brown house do you want a blue house do you want a yellow house or a black house I mean what in your mind what color would be ideal for your house so um so the stule reminds me of Southwest the Southwest colors so I probably want to stick with that color scheme more of a that Southwest look even though it's not a a Southwest home but the stule just reminds me of that and I I kind of like those softer lighter colors with some contrast so maybe some Browns in with the lighter colors okay so starting off just just knowing that little information will really help us and so um one thing we always have to take into consideration is um we'll go outside here in just a minute is your roof your roof will really limit you um in colors you do have um a roof that's kind of bronze um and it has some bronze um some Grays and black in it so it's not going to limit you another thing that will limit you is um the house is across the street the house next to you you don't have one on the other side but you don't want your house to be the same color is the house next door or the house across the street I did think about that cuz I love my next door neighbor's house and but I thought not not appropriate cannot match it the same right one thing you know we always want to know right off the bat sometimes the C the customers like the house the color it is now and um do you want to just stick with the same colors um or do you want to change I actually like the color it is now but is there a way to keep the colors but give it more a little more contrast or a little more pop so that's a that's a good question right now now it's really light um it's light colors which is really good for a small house if you went the same colors exactly the same it's actually going to pop quite a bit because the house is extremely faded um looks very flat the stucco is flat if um believe it or not the original colors are probably a shade or two darker than it is now cuz it's so faded the the color scheme you know is a nice color scheme but um if you wanted to change it we definitely would want to stick to lighter colors yes what we're gonna do we'll go outside um and kind of narrow it down I like to typically narrow it down to three colors um that you would work with and once we narrow down the body of the house then we begin working with accent colors a front door you can have anything you want in a front door…
