Color Works

What has over 500 cans?

Did you guess Shaw’s or Whole Foods? Wrong!

Color Works on Main Street has an enormous selection of cans filled with every color of paint imaginable. If they don’t have the shade, you desire they can mix it for you.

I find the task of choosing paint colors very overwhelming – so many shades, sheens, and colors, all that look different in various light. Warm colors, cool colors, flat, semi-gloss, eggshell, etc. – so many decisions.

Dave who has worked at the paint store for over 25 years is an expert – he listened to how we wanted the rooms to feel and made great suggestions. They tinted the paint to the precise colors we were looking for.

I wanted my bedroom ceiling to be blue. I had seen it at a hotel and fell in love with it. I had no idea how many shades of blue there were. Dave recommended a shade in a matte finish - it is perfect. I enjoy waking up to my peaceful ceiling every morning.

If the paint wasn't enough. We had to install motorized blinds. Donny came to the condo with a book of samples, made suggestions, and expertly measured. We are thrilled with the quality of the shades, ease of use, and perfect fit. They pulled our rooms together and really made it feel like a home.

Color Works also carries a variety of paint supplies.

I highly suggest if you are redecorating head to Colorworks and have a conversation with Dave!
