what's inside the color course?
MODULE 1

Understanding the Color Wheel

This module shows you how to use the color wheel to identify warm and cool colors, different types of color schemes, and so much more

MODULE 2

Understanding the Undertones

Undertones can be very subtle – but they are also the cause of most color mistakes. Learn how to correctly work with the undertones in every surface of the room.

MODULE 3

Working with Whites and Hard Surfaces

One stop in the paint aisle, and you'll realize there are wayyyy more white paint colors than you possibly could have imagined! This module teaches you exactly when to use each category of white paints. Plus, how to work with different hard surfaces, like quartz, marble, and various wood tones.

MODULE 4

Using Your Sherwin-Williams Fan Deck

Now that you have an understanding of the color wheel, are you ready to have your mind blown? The Sherwin-Williams fan deck is unlike anything else on the market, and we're unlocking the secrets of how to use it!

MODULE 5

Color Emotion and Meaning

Colors evoke human emotions. Maybe you want to create an energetic vibe in an Airbnb design project, or a color that makes a real estate listing feel welcoming to potential buyers. We'll show you how to use color to create emotion and meaning in any space.

MODULE 6

Finding the Perfect Color

Learn the 5 Steps to a Beautiful Color Scheme, how to consider existing tones, and other strategies for finding the perfect paint color.

MODULE 7

Design Principles

Whether your client is seeking interior decorating or staging services, design principles should guide the color selection process. This module shows you some key elements of design to influence your color consultations.

MODULE 8

Exterior Color

Exterior paint is a big commitment – it needs to outlive the 10 year trend cycle. Learn how to select the perfect colors for exterior features like siding, front doors, porches, and so much more.

MODULE 9

Light

Color isn’t really color. It is how our eyes interpret different light waves. So, when choosing a paint color, you need to consider things like light bulbs, natural light, light reflectance value, and more.

MODULE 10

How to Choose the Best Colors for Staging

Fresh paint in updated colors gives the impression that the house overall has been well-maintained and is up-to-date. Your color selections can also make a listing look bigger (or smaller). This module covers expert strategies for picking colors for home staging.
