Why I use color:

I use color because it feeds my soul. Color is energy. I like to
surround myself with color because it makes me feel alive.

2 Good color tips:

1. I choose what I like, I don't really follow trends. Trends
eventually go out of style, so I like to surround myself with what
moves me.

2. I always think about how the room will be used, and then apply a
little color psychology. Warm colors, bright colors for more energy
(kitchen, living room, etc) and cooler, more subdued colors for
relaxation (bedroom, bathroom, etc).

2 good color resources:

1. A good resources for colors and color combinations are pieces of art. Most artists tend to have a great color sense and they combine the colors in interesting ways.

2. I like to collect paint swatches from the paint store. Then I mix
them up, turn them color side down and randomly choose a few.
Sometimes you end up with really interesting color combinations!
