I appreciate that! The speed of my voice seems to be the most controversial thing about my channel! haha! I've heard some love it, some don't but I just talk how I talk! I tried slowing down but it feels unnatural and it becomes harder to think of what I want to say when I'm not moving at my usual speed!

Some people think that fast-talkers are nervous. Also I could imagine that some people are used to not being heard, therefore they talk fast to not “take up anyone’s time”. Hope it’s just your “thing”

I don't normally comment on videos but feel compelled to after watching this and a few other of your color videos. Nick, you do a FANTASTIC job of explaining color making it simple and uncomplicated. Like others have commented, you get straight to the point and are very effective in what you do. Thank you for putting knowledge out there. It's greatly appreciated!

You gave us direction and confidence in picking colours from Benjamin Moore.

I love listening to you Nick! 😊

For the past 5 years my house has been Edgecomb Gray with White Dove trims and ceilings...I’m still obsessed with it! It goes with everything and never lets me down.😊

I have been searching for this information for a while. I suspected that when choosing paint colors for a room it might be good to go with warm with warm colors or cool with cool tones. I didn't know about choosing neutral to go with either warm or cool tones. This video was very enlightening! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this! Very helpful! Much appreciated!🌞

This is super helpful. Thank you!

Great stuff Nick, thank you

It's honestly awesome to see someone include black as a neutral paint option. I just bought a house in an area that has constant snow for 7-9 months of the year so I want to go for a color that isn't white. Since my ceilings are quite tall and I have a lot of natural light I'm planning on picking either a very dark grey or a black

I'm painting my walls soon so happy to come across this video. Thanks

Great stuff!! Speaking of light effecting things, one thing I have seen over and over is an attempt to get a neutral grey and when it is put up on the walls, it looks too blue. Your selections look great. I'm glad that there is a move toward warmer greys now. We did a coastal home and we're going for a graiyge tone since we had brown leather and existing beige tile floors. When it was all up, I thought it was a bit too warm but now that everything is being accessorize, it looks good.

So grateful that I found you! Finally, an expert with practical advice. New Sub here, I will binge watch your videos 👍

Thank you! Great video.

“There’s red, there’s white, there’s good or bad” this is the best analogy to the search for paint EVER. It’s exactly how I feel surrounded by paint swatches 😩😩

Enjoyed your presentation!

Thank you so much for this amazing video!

I totally agree with the other accolades. And I found the photographs you use with the actual paint color on the wall are somehow more helpful than I’ve seen on other sites. Maybe it’s because the furnishings more closely represent mine. I think the natural lighting that’s used helps me understand the colors better also. Ty!

The lighting in your video is exquisite hey 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Fabulous information!!!

Super cute and great advice!

I love your videos! Thank you!!

Beautiful paint colours, thank you.

After watching this awesome video I finally worked out the best colour scheme for my new home. Thanks again Nick! It was sad when I found out that Benjamin Moore doesn't have a distributor here in Australia. The paint stores kept telling me that I need to bring in a physical paint sample otherwise they couldn't help me. After some further investigating, I found out that Benjamin Moore can send you the RBG numbers (red blue green apparently) and you can now take this information to your paint shop and can get the exact colour. They kindly responded to me with the information for the two colours I wanted which is amazing. I am hoping this will save some time for anyone else who lives in a country where this brand isn't available. :)

I just subscribed, great knowledge and content! Looking forward to more 👍

I painted my main living room in Shoji White by Sherman Williams. It's griege and some people in reviews reported green undertones..which I didn't want..I painted faint swatches on all the walls and looked at them in different lightening.. thankfully there was no green undertone for me. It's such a warm color I love..take your time picking out paint..it makes a huge difference

Also something that people don't think about when picking paint: the quality of the titanium dioxide in the can of paint. Lower grade titanium dioxide will mute colors or add more grey or yellow tones to the overall paint color, while the higher grade will be more vibrant and be true to the color chip. From my experience selling various brands of paint, Benjamin Moore and Valspar have more consistent quality over the majority of their different lines of paint, with the exceptions being their low end paints. The most inconsistent brand is Sherwin Williams. I also only go with Benjamin Moore because they are the only company that uses hard-dry pigments, which means (among other things) that the color lasts longer.

Terrific! Fantastic orator!

We are buying a house!!!! (At age 26) and it is gonna need some renovation so here I am tryna get inspo and find out what I like (cause I know what I do not like🤣) And I have become obssessed with your channel. Love from Jamaica.

It is often advised to paint samples and paint pots on your wall and look at it during different times of the day. I've heard you recommend this on two videos tonight. I would suggest painting your paint pot samples on card/plywood , anything you can move around different aspects of your space and see effect of light in every corner and open surface at any time of day without needing multiple samples

Love this video. This is a true interior design video not like lots of video talking about trend.

this may be the best video on paint ive ever seen

Just found this channel and I’ve binged all day. Thanks!

For Sherwin Williams, "Pure White" is a great neutral white. Probably very similar to Chantily Lace. We used it all over our home and just love it.

Glad to hear it!

I love your channel. I’m a BM groupie! I can sit hours looking at my fan-deck of colours comparing one colour to another. These are my colors at the cottage (home). Classic grey with White Opulence (designer recommended) in our living-room kitchen area. Use Moonshine for bedrooms which I love. I was so reluctant to use white opulence as I had cloud white for all my trim at our other home but I can say that I happy I took the designer’s recommendation, I’ve always chosen my own colours but wanted to make sure that the whites chosen for the cottage would not be too stark so I consulted and he suggested the Classic Grey paired with the White Opulence which I was happy with, it looks great. When people say oh I chose a white, I’m like white does not exist in a paint colour 😂 which one are you using? Thinking of changing my back wall of my room black but very hesitant as I dont want to chose the wrong one. I realizeI will have to change my other wall colours from Moonshine grey to a white one. Do you have any suggesting ? My room has a lot of light with two windows each side of my bed and one on the side wall.. I’ve been looking at Onyx actually.

Great information. I'm looking to paint kitchen cabinets, and I don't want bright white but want it in the white family. Decisions decisions.

Love this video.

One of the more helpful explanations I’ve seen especially with the pictures showing what you’re discussing. It makes sense and I think I’ve got it until I try choosing a color even if it’s one mentioned. Am I the only person who is so bad at this or can the natural light in our home change so drastically that nothing seems right at the end of it?

Your the best at explaining interior decorating. Hands down.

Just my subjective opinion, but this was one of your most impressive videos. The time you put into this video must have been considerable, and (as usual) your organize your info really well and in a manner that is easier for non-industry people to absorb (not all decorators can or even want to do that). I actually can't believe this doesn't have more views because it's THAT good and informative. Well done.

Hi Nick! Really enjoy your videos! I'm a first time home-buyer currently looking for houses in the Northeast and it seems all of your examples are for very large, wealthy homes. Can you provide videos on how to design within more modest homes? Things like 3 bedroom colonials or split-levels? Thank you so much!

Killing it!

It took about 4 years for us to find a color we liked we kept thinking in the store oh we like the grey with the blue undertones the most, would buy about 5 samples and pant large swatches on our wall. Found one we thought we loved and painted the guest bathroom, after about a week it just looked baby blue with a hint of grey to us :(. Finally we went back and decided on a green undertone grey, and we LOVE it! What you think you want and what you really like may be different :D

I know blue isn't typically considered a neutral but my favorite dark paint color is BM Hale Navy!!

I live in the uk and painted my kitchen/diner Benjamin Moore French Canvas, as I wanted something light and bright but keep to my colour theme of green. French Canvas has a subtle undertone of Green. It blows me away the amount of comments I get on my choice of colour especially as I thought most people will see a natural cream. My builder has recommended my colour choice to many of his clients but it is a little more difficult to get hold of Benjamin Moore in the UK as not many retailers stock it.

Finally, someone who gets to the point! Great teacher! Unfortunately, anything gray I associate with mood. Looking for some beige and creams to consider for a new construct in FL. Exterior chosen by us was Navajo White since other colors offered by builders were to dark. Now looking for an interior color as they eliminated selection and only will do Pearl... which at least will be easy to paint over. Going for a more tropical airy but cozy resort vibe. I will now navigate through your other videos to see if you talk about beiges and creams. Again, great informative and to the point video!

That colour looks amazing!

We moved into a house that was built three years ago; the walls throughout the entire house are two different greys. One is close to a Metropolitan grey, and the other is what I describe as portaHELLa or elephant mudbath (aka not for me); it's not even greige, it's more like a graupe. There doesn't seem to be any logic behind why which walls are which color either. Throw in the natural lighting changing the colors from room to room (one room looks like a Sage green), the rustic, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures everywhere (not for me), and the barn doors (again, not for me)...I have A LOT of work to do. I painted the entertainment area of our basement black, left the door trim, baseboards, and ceiling white. I love it! Thanks for your videos!
