What's Your Color Personality? Take the Quiz!

Paint.  Beautiful, inspiring, magical paint.  Nothing can transform a room from drab to fab faster than a fresh coat of paint.

Got a room in your home that needs a makeover but the budget is a bit tight?  Think paint.  A gallon of paint and a few hours this weekend listening to your favorite tunes with paint brush in hand...you'll have a whole new space that feels a lot more like you.

So, what's standing between you and the room of your dreams?  If you're like most folks (me included) it could be that perplexing, anxiety-producing exercise known as "choosing the right paint color."  You stand before that big wall in the paint store that's filled with a gazillion little-bitty paint chips and your first thought is, "Maybe I'll just clean out my sock drawer this weekend, instead."  Yup, been there.

Fear no more.  The good folks at Glidden know exactly how you feel.  They want to take the anxiety out of choosing that perfect paint color so they've created a special site, My Colortopia, that's made for folks like us—you know, the ones who break out in a sweat at just the thought of picking a out a color for the dining room or that old hutch we snagged at the thrift store last week.

The very first thing you'll notice when you stop by My Colortopia is lots of gorgeous, vibrant color.   Your eyes dilate and you're instantly in a better mood!  Ahhhh, beautiful color!

Yes, I do have spring fever, why do you ask? ;)

My Colortopia exists to help with your color and painting dilemmas.  Along the top of the page you'll find lots of helpful links, including an "Advice" section where you can ask questions.  There's also a link to the Colortopia Blog where you'll find great articles and tips on topics ranging from, "Tackling an Unfinished Room"...

...to "Creating a Painting Plan for the New Year."

Home Page:
Back at the home page, scroll down to around the middle of the page, and you'll see a nifty little gadget called, My Life, My Colors.  I've also included it here in this post below!

This fun gadget displays a personality/style quiz that quickly narrows down the colors best suited to your personality and design style based on your answer to 7 fun questions.  Neat, huh?

The quiz only takes a couple of minutes and as you answer each question, you'll literally see your color choices developing right before your eyes.  Pretty cool to watch it in action!

Your Turn!
I've embedded this clever tool here below so you can try it out now!  After you answer the 7 questions, leave a comment letting me know what your color choices were in the end.  Did you like the suggestions?  I took the quiz 2-3 times since I was torn between some of my answers and I wanted to see what the paint choices would be if I had answered in a different way.  What did it come up with for you?

Have fun!
