I arrived at the house to find at least 30 different paint swatches on the exterior wood siding: every color, every hue. On the ground were even more sample pots. “OK. Here’s a challenge,” I thought.
By the end of two hours, we - and I do mean WE - had created two different color palettes for her and her husband to choose from, that she loved and that were fresh, beautiful and would fit in beautifully in her historic neighborhood. The homeowner hadn’t known where to start and had been canvassing everyone she knew for color ideas. Hence the 30+ sample pots. She didn’t know that there were professional paint color consultants in the universe, but typed into Google “need help with paint color.” America’s Color Consultants popped up with its 5-star reviews.
America’s Color Consultants is an independent, professional consulting company that works with homeowners and businesses alike to select new paint colors for their spaces. There are currently five locations in the U.S.: three are in the DC/NOVA metro area. They work with all the major U.S. paint brands and offer their services at the job sites, by appointment.
For homeowners especially, this is a huge convenience as ACC brings all the color samples to their home and points out those things that impact paint color such as lighting, sun orientation, furnishings, wall textures, etc. The home improvement industry continues to be strong and expert help is always in demand.
Lynn and Steph have always been the “go to” people in their families and neighborhoods for all things color and interior design. Although their full-time jobs did not reflect their creative nature, they craved to use these talents some day in some way. They found America’s Color Consultants and became franchisees: one is pursuing paint color consulting full-time, while the other is building her business on a part-time basis for the next few years.
ACC selects franchisees that have an outstanding “eye for color” and trains them in all aspects of running a paint color consulting business; from the in-home interview process to marketing to accounting. ACC businesses are home-based, part-time or full-time, and fully supported on an on-going basis by the founders of the franchise.
