Painting Panacea
Paint Manufacturers/Brands/Sources
Architects and design professionals are fans of Pratt and Lambert as well as the less known Farrow & Ball, Britain's last traditional paint manufacturer. They're one of the few companies that have all their color samples on their website. Of course you shouldn't rely on the accuracy of your monitor, but it does give you a sense of your choices.
Sherwin Williams has cleverly arrange several color palettes: Classical-Colonial, The Jazz Age, Arts & Crafts, and Suburban Modern.
The city's interior designers know about the Donald Kaufman Color Collection and you should, too, if you want extraordinarily deep, luminous paint. DKCC was recommended to us by a knowledgeable-sounding Chelsea homeowner during a visit to Janovich on 7th when we were looking (and looking and looking) for a warm non-circus-like yellow for our kitchen.
If you're looking for eco-friendly paint, try Eco Interior from Benjamin Moore.
