Color Consultations in Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati & Southeast Indiana
We are not just a painting company — we are your personal painter.
Choosing paint colors sounds simple until you’re staring at 40 “whites” and every room looks different in morning vs evening light. My Personal Painter offers color consultations that help you choose a palette that fits your home, your style, and your lighting—so you feel confident before any paint goes on.
Color Planning for Interiors, Exteriors, and Cabinets
When people search paint color consultation near me, they usually want two outcomes: fewer surprises and a finished look that feels intentional. We help you make confident choices—wall colors, trim colors, accent colors, and sheens—so the final result looks consistent from room to room and works with your existing finishes.
Color planning we commonly help with
Whole-home palettes and room-to-room flow
Wall, ceiling, and trim coordination
Exterior body, trim, and accent selections
Cabinet color direction for kitchens, baths, and built-ins
Feature walls and accent choices
Coordinating with floors, countertops, tile, brick, and stone
Lighting and Undertones That Change Everything
Paint color is more than a swatch—it’s lighting, undertone, and surrounding materials. We help you avoid the most common issues: neutrals that turn pink/green/gray, trim that clashes with floors, or a color that feels “too harsh” once it covers the whole room.
What we evaluate during selection
Natural light direction and time-of-day shifts
Warm vs cool undertones and how they read on your walls
Existing finishes that won’t change (floors, cabinets, counters, tile)
Contrast goals: crisp trim vs softer blending
Consistency across open layouts and connected rooms
If you’ve already tried samples and they still look “off,” we’ll identify why and guide you toward a better match.
Sheen and Finish Choices for Real Life
Even the right color can look wrong with the wrong sheen. We help you choose finishes that fit how you live—durable where needed, and visually consistent everywhere else.
Common finish decisions we help with
Flat vs matte vs eggshell for walls (look vs cleanability)
Satin vs semi-gloss for trim and doors (durability vs shine)
Ceiling finishes to reduce glare and hide imperfections
Kitchen and bath product direction for moisture and cleaning
Touch-up friendliness and how sheen affects patch visibility
Sample Testing and Whole-Home Color Flow
A good palette isn’t just one great color—it’s how everything works together. We help you test properly and build a plan you can follow throughout the home.
Color strategy support we may include
Best practices for sample placement and testing
Accent wall planning and visual balance

Yes. We plan around what’s staying—floors, counters, cabinets, tile, brick—so the new paint looks intentional and coordinated.
What sheen should I use for walls, trim, and bathrooms?
We guide sheen based on durability and appearance—matte/eggshell for most walls, more durable finishes for trim/doors, and moisture-aware choices for baths and kitchens.

That depends on your goals and how complex the palette is. We’ll recommend a practical plan that supports decisions without rushing.

In most cases, yes. We’ll tell you where and how to test samples so you can confirm in your actual lighting before final selection.
