Painting a room is one of the least expensive ways to change things up in your home but the color you choose can be one of the most important decisions. Why? Because color can have a strong effect on your mood, emotions and behaviors.
If you're undecided, or in the midst of picking a color for a room, it can't hurt to take the quizzes below to help find out which color is right for you.
1. Pratt and Lambert Color Personality Quiz
This was my favorite of the three quizzes. I thought it was thorough and I enjoyed the large palette selection it gave me in the end.
2. Pittsburgh Paints Color Sense Game
From selecting an animal that most represents your personality to picking the soundtrack to your life, this quiz was by far the most thorough and I agreed with the results.
3. Better Homes and Garden: What's Your Color Personality?
This quiz has quite the random range of questions. I wouldn't rely on it to pick a color for your entire house, but it sure was fun to take!

Fun! The first two selected almost identical palates, but number 3 was way off.
I've take the BHG one before, and it is usually pretty off, but the Pratt and Lambert picked perfect colors for me.
Pittsburgh Paints and BH&G both picked green for me, Pratt&Lambert also did botanical but with a large dash of brilliant peach. So thinking it over, P&L was the most complex and interesting.
Mine were all pretty similar, but I felt the Pittsburgh one got my dream palette a little more bang-on than the other two. Plus, it was kind of more fun.
P&L picked colors I liked (pastels), but Pittsburgh Paints showed a variety I really liked and would actually use (focused on blues). BH&G said green for me, which is a nice color, but not necessarily one I'd paint my walls (unless it was blue green, but Pittsburgh Paints had that covered).
i didn't like any of the colors they selected for me.
I'm wondering how a quiz can determine your tastes. None of my questions seemed to deliver colour selections I'd consider using.
The first one gave me a color pallette that I never would have expected. The second one was spot on. The third one turned up green, which I do like, but I think it's weird that it focused on one color rather than a color pallette. Interesting quizes.
Pittsburgh Paints's quiz results were helpful. The others were wide of the mark.
P&L kind of got it right, I guess. But off at the same time. At least they chose rich colours.
Pittsburgh was fun! Only one of the options they gave me was right, but it was spot on.
Better Homes and Gardens was out to lunch.
I'm apparently schizophrenic, colour-wise, according to these tests.
I didn't agree with any of their color pallets.
P&L got it spot on
1. Pale colors
2. Pop art colors
3. Yellow?!?!?!?
I think a mixture of pale and vibrant colors rings true. NO Yellow though
Pratt and Lambert got it totally right for me.
The first two were spot on! Both had me in the wordly/gypsy caravan/shopping in a bazaar category. Which is exactly how my room in my apartment is decorated right now!
Very enjoyable quizzes, I wish I knew about them when it took me one half and a month to decide on living-room colors :)
They all gave different results but this is irrelevant :p
The Pittsburgh pallette is so old and dated-I was using that darn palette 7 years ago! it chose a palette of colours that I would NEVER use (or I guess I somehow chose it!) The B&H chose my absolute fave colour-Citrus yellow-the brighter the better. I just love wearing this colour, and I like to use it for hits of zing in my rooms, but I would not paint any room this bright! The first quiz was actually spot on! Something about pale shades-but not due to hesitation or shyness to colour but paleness for sophistication. Lots of fun!
I just want those stairs. so fun!
