House Beautiful color picker

Have you ever used the awesome paint color tool over on the House Beautiful website? It is so handy. And so fun! 
So here's how it works---there are 25 preloaded rooms. Bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc... choose one, and then go to town switching up the paint colors of the walls, trim, ceiling, and accent colors!
You can even choose what "paint system" you want to pull from. 
I used one of the dining room templates. This soothing grey palette is one of my favorites:


This bright yellow reminds me of my sister...she loves yellow rooms!

 I love how the trim really pops in this next one:
You can save, print, and email your images. 
If you are thinking of painting a room, but are worried that a color might be risky...try it out with this tool  and see what you think after a few days!

Even if you're not planning on doing a painting project soon...it's just fun to try putting different color combinations together---happy experimenting!
