Sherwin Williams Color of Inspiration site makes you a paint palette genius

Filed under: Haute Home



There is something about painting a room that brings out the inner artistic genius in all of us. Suddenly it is of vital importance that we find just the right shade of velvety chocolate, and that it be paired only with the perfect teal.

Sure, you can bring swatches to Home Depot, but we like to do some prep before we make the apron'ed folk run in circles for us. That's why the new Sherwin Wililams Color of Inspiration site is the perfect way for us to spend a few blissful hours trying out color combinations and trying to remember what we learned in color theory class all those years ago.

There are a couple of ways to use the SW Inspiration tool. You can upload a photo and the site automatically generates a palette inspired by your picture of the best green motorcycle ever, or the amazing yellow and red tulips from your garden.

Just as satisfying for us, you can also check out other people's photos and palettes. It's like spying! Plus, why go to all the trouble of finding a perfect picture, or you know, taking one, if the work is already done for us?

Warning: this site will eat your day, and it's twice as dangerous if you're a bride, or involved in any kind planning for a large event. Block out your calendar before you click thru!
