Pick the Perfect Golden Color
Golden colors can difficult to choose. These tips and hints will take the mystery of choosing the a warm golden paint color for your room.
Instructions
1. Compare the darkest color on the paint chips to more easily discern what the undertones of the color are. To prevent any taste of green, make sure the darkest color is warm, but not orangey.
2. Gold, as child of yellow, is heavily influenced by light, therefore it is imperative that you test the paint in your room. You must compensate for sun exposure, south-facing rooms will heat up your gold, and north will dull it down.
3. Always try a sample pot of paint. In my area, they are $6 for a small tester can, but when you compare that to the cost and effort of repainting, it is a bargain. Some places do not advertise their sample cans, so be sure to ask.
4. Paint chips located in the "clean" color area are not complex enough to create a good golden color Good golden colors look almost like warm, slightly-dirty beiges on the chip.
5. Be careful with your ceiling! "Super-white" ceiling paints are actually tinged with just the slightest blue to visually lift them. This blue cast next to a stunning golden wall can be visually jarring. Consider painting your ceiling a shade or two lighter than your walls by moving up your paint chip.
