How To Choose Paint Colors
Two weeks ago, I introduced y’all to the fabulous My Colortopia personality color quiz which helps you get started selecting paint colors for your home. It’s so fun to see what different answers come up with. Today, I’m sharing yet another way that Glidden has designed to pull paint colors from inspiration images with their My Image Inspiration tool.
My Image Inspiration is incredibly simple to use. You to upload a picture of something you like and think would work for your space—whether it’s a piece of art, furniture, fabric, scenery—anything really. You’ll get a selection of color palettes to browse through, print, share and paint!
Here are a couple of my images with paint suggestion results:
I love the Slate Green color palette. It’s neutral and would work with many various color schemes!
Just for fun, I used a photo of my Missoni rain boots to see what the tool would come up with . I really like the Olivewood color and how it goes with various neutrals…as well as brick red and blue. I think I could get addicted to coming up with color schemes with My Image Inspiration.
Note: You can make the square selector as large or as small as you’d like. Sometimes the smaller the better since you can focus in on a tighter space for color selection.
I’d love for you to try using My Image Inspiration and let me know what you think!
Glidden brand paint has sponsored me to promote MyColortopia, but as always opinions and thoughts are mine.

I’m making a play kitchen for my nieces. I haven’t picked out the paint yet so this was a neat program to upload a picture of the fabric I picked out for the curtains. I clicked a few parts on the image to find the colors I liked the best. It was super easy and took no time at all!
Thanks for sharing this Myra!

This is a great tool. I know this would work great with clothing. Your fashion matching your home.
Choosing paint colors for our home always takes me forever. Then I’m still unsure as the paint goes on the walls. Having a tool that will assist with the process, taking colors I’m comfortable with already and matching them to paint is an excellent idea.
