The Best Colour Websites I Use

• For wall paints: https://encycolorpedia.com/

They have LRV, similar paint colours with different companies, info on undertones

• To display colour palettes, and generate palettes from photos: https://coolors.co/

—Though I always have to manually move the bubbles for the generator from image. Pro tip when you generate the palettes, know you can't just copy and paste the URL to save it somewhere else without having to save the whole thing as a "favourite" to an account. (Which is limited with premium, and sometimes glitches out and doesn't work)

• For palette inspo: Pinterest

I simply type in the names of all the colours I want in the palette and then add "colour palette" at the end.

- M’s notes: Picking a greige for bedroom walls was probably the single most stressful "not actually a big deal" thing of my entire life that for me realistically was a big deal. Second was getting a Chinese name. Practically countless considerations later, Ghost Writer was the answer, though we might have lightened it. Also, it is worth considering that all the rooms it is used in are well-lit with natural lighting from sizable windows.

• Solid Opal BWC-06 (white or off-white, Behr)
