Successful Color Plans
The two essential elements of a successful color plan are color selection and color placement.
Everyone focuses on color selection, but the real magic of paint comes from using color strategically to enhance, enlarge, feature, decorate, correct, camouflage, minimize, define, and more. Once your colors are chosen, Sandy will show you how to use color to maximum advantage.
Need a Little Help?
Picking paint colors should be fun, not stressful, but many people struggle and get frustrated. There are lots of reasons why this happens.
Perhaps you didn’t know where to start when you looked at the color displays at the paint store. Or perhaps the colors you loved on-line, or the ones from you chose from a color strip, didn’t work when you put up samples.
To make matters worse, there’s a world of well-meaning, but often uninformed and conflicting advice and opinion to sort through.
Here’s the good news: Today there’s no longer any need to guess about paint colors. Sandy will show you how color really works, and help you choose colors you’ll love to live with.
The options can be overwhelming…

What a color consultation includes
Here are some of the things Sandy will consider during your consultation:
- The architecture of your house to determine the design and layout for the best approach to color selection and placement, including where color should start and stop in open concept plans.
- The colors in key permanent features such as flooring, carpet, counter tops, tile and cabinets for interiors, and the roof, stonework and landscaping for exteriors.
- Architectural details to determine which should be accented, defined or enhanced, and which should be camouflaged.
- The effects of natural and artificial lighting
- Whether color could address design issues, such as a low ceiling, large open spaces or an awkwardly placed door.
- Your belongings to be certain the key pieces will coordinate well with the paint colors.
- Features that could receive special treatment, if desired.
- Additional ways to make your house look its best, including cosmetic repairs.
Sandy will recommend a palette of paint colors and sheens, including the potential use of historic or regional colors, and arrange for you to receive large samples to help you make your final choices.

testimonials
On a day to day basis in my retail business it is seldom that I meet anyone with such an extraordinary command of the use of color as Sandy LeRoy. I have also had the pleasure of assisting her in some of her local workshops concerning the usage of color, and always leave there amazed at her depth of knowledge.
Whether it’s staging an existing home for sale, or a color and design consultation when building or remodeling, she is clearly the person to call.
Sandy assisted our committee in selecting a new exterior color for our 42 unit condominium. She is immensely talented, well-prepared, uses the latest technology and has an abundance of resources to help make a stressful job a lot of fun. She is thorough, patient, insightful and a great communicator. We were all very impressed with Sandy and we give her our highest recommendation.
Sandy’s insight and ideas truly benefited our house. The colors she helped us pick turned out to be amazing. We are so pleased with how it all came together and we are truly thankful for Sandy’s guidance. She is highly recommended by us. *****
Sandy, the colors you suggested for my home add the warmth and style I desired.
I’m so glad I called Sandy. I was having a terrible time finding the right color for my kitchen and dining room. She helped me find the perfect ones, and I learned a lot about color in the process. It was fun too.
Sandy’s in depth knowledge of color made selecting colors for an entire interior painless. She is patient, open to the homeowner’s taste, yet diplomatically offers suggestions when something will not work well in the space. I have already recommended her to others, and will use her services again without hesitation.
Ms. LeRoy is a game-changer. Knowledgeable and a clear communicator, Ms. LeRoy effectively changed my landscape in a fun, efficient, and cost-effective manner. Highly recommended.
As new homeowners, my wife and I were overwhelmed when trying to color coordinate our home exterior improvement projects. Not only did Sandy provide prompt, professional service, but she put our minds at ease that our color selections would elevate and accentuate the features of our 1941 stone cottage. Highly recommend!
When my husband and I bought our house, Sandy came to color consult. Her knowledge of colors is amazing. She looked around at all of our furniture which was a merge of my new husbands’s and my own. I thought she was going to tell me to get rid of half of it. But with her great “eye”, she saw one pillow that matched two chairs we have, and she then set to work to pick out colors for all the walls and ceilings, and to match tile flooring. All from that one pillow! It all looks perfect, and I would never had the nerve to pick out the colors she did, it is marvelous! Note only does she have an incredible flair for color, but also texture, where to place furniture, paintings, everything. The feeling you experience when you come to our home is just what we wanted, everything blends from room to room. You will be very satisfied with her expertise!
Sandy has fantastic color sense and has helped us choose the right color both inside and out.
Sandy’s color advice was perfect and greatly appreciated.
I have used Sandy to assist my clients and myself in choosing paint colors in preparation for the sale of homes, or to change the existing colors after buying a home. Her wise choices have had a huge impact on the marketability of the property. She knows the nuances of color the way a chef knows flavors. She works with the homeowners’ preferences, and show the homeowners why a color choice is made and how to make additional choices in the future.
Sandy brought a balance of peace and energy throughout our house with the art of placement and color selection.
