The Speaker of the HouseLiving rooms are where a home expresses its personality to guests in the most direct manner. Level of sophistication, style and elegance are all quickly read in the décor of a

living room. Additionally, the degree of formality that a home projects is determined by the living room. Color schemes set the context for the story that the living room will tell. Neutral

and muted palettes will tend to let the furnishings shine, while more dramatic non-neutrals must have furnishings that can hold their own within the more powerful setting.

Alkali-Sensitive: Colors that are more likely to fade early when used on highly alkaline surfaces, such as new masonry.

Interior Use Only: Colors with a low resistance to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, causing them to fade.

Low Hide: Colors that are more transparent and may require multiple coats.

Historic: Colors that are historically accurate.

This is the space that people save for their guests. So beyond the exterior and curb appeal, living rooms are what a home will be known for in the outside world. Consider your statement.

Dining Rooms: Where Rituals HappenThe rituals associated with the breaking of bread and events that take place in the dining room are the most important social acts during which a home must perform well.

Again, color schemes will set the stage for these ritual functions of the household. Expectations for mood and manners will be set, in part, by the colors on the walls. How would

you like to set the tone for your most important events? From enchanting to raucous, it will begin with color.

Will you be casually or formally dining? Or, perhaps something in the middle. Just dining?In general, the deeper, richer or darker you go, the more formal the mood will be.

COLOR CHIPS AND PAINT: These color chips are produced as accurately as possible; however, actual paint colors may vary from these samples and from batch to batch. Paint colors are affected by many factors, including lighting, age, type of finish, type of surface and adjacent colors. Some colors may require more than one coat for complete coverage. If final color appearance and color matches are critical, paint should be sampled on the actual surface before full application. Application of the paint constitutes acceptance of the color. Dunn-Edwards assumes no responsibility for color after application.
