Can Paint Colors Really be Matched?

They can’t. Not really. Think of it this way: neither can wine, coffee, lipstick, or cigars.

Let me introduce you to Devine Cabernet. I crafted Devine Cabernet by hand on canvas to look and feel a certain way. My swatches then got sent to the lab- like every Devine Color does- to be formulated. Then, it was sent back to me for approval. Then we repeat the process until the color is exactly how I envisioned it.

There is a reason to this madness. It’s to ensure that every color I craft on canvas is the color you paint on your wall.

We had Devine Cabernet matched by different paint companies.  At a glance you see only slight differences. But I believe these little differences make a big difference in the way the temperature, vibrancy, and brightness in a room feels. Do you?

Next time someone tells you that you can have the very same color in another paint line, think again. That kind of magic does not happen anywhere else.

If you are going for Cabernet, go for Devine Cabernet. 

Available at Rodda Paint, Hirshfields, and Independent Paint Dealers near you.

Pinspiration: Hooked on a Feeling

Devine Ray | Devine Ewe | Devine Penguin | Devine Encore

Devine Encore mostly represents warm wood tones in this palette, but if you don't have any, paint something or add in textiles.  Mix this palette together and you get something like these rooms that capture the feeling of light and shadow without grand windows. Notice all the rooms have botanically inspired prints mixed in via artwork, pillows, or wallpaper. Don't forget to add a touch of outdoor lushness with some live greenery, like in the bedroom below.

Painting Emily's Living Room Step 2: A New Look

My living room turned out gorgeous!  Devine Color was a dream to work with- hardly any drips and really good coverage (I used the Delicate finish).  I find myself wandering into the living room simply to admire the paint color and the way the fall sunlight looks when it hits the walls.  Doesn't Moss make the yellow fireplace glow? I can't believe what a difference it has made in the feel of my home.  The biggest surprise is the ceiling. Gretchen advised me to paint it the same Devine Moss as the walls, but I was a little afraid becuase  It seemed so dark when I started. But as you can see from the photos, Moss looks mysteriously lighter on the ceiling, and brings a softness to the entire room. I thought I needed to re-decorate the whole room, but what I really needed was a change of color scenery.   -Emily

Painting Emily's Living Room Step One: The Color Chooses You

I have been working for Devine Color for about six months now, but I had never painted a room in my house using Devine.  My living room was overdue for a color update, so I used the Devine Color Discovery Cards to find out what color it wanted to be.  The yellow fireplace brick with pink (!) mortar had always stumped me - what the heck goes with THAT combo?

All I had to do was hold the color cards up to surfaces around my room - including the troublesome fireplace-  and one color palette was a clear winner. From there I just had to narrow it down to one choice from the Cool Grasses and Evergreens collection. To my surprise, I discovered the living room wanted to be a soft gray green: Devine Moss.  It was not a color I had previously considered- I was looking at much warmer tones to "match" the room, when in fact what it needed was a cooler, softer hue to balance out all the warmth in my furniture and woodwork.    -Emily

Devine Color Crazy for Cayman

A.L. Thompson's design showrooms feature the latest and greatest in kitchen and bath (with 3,000 bidets!), a lighting department full of the best bling I've seen, and a bedding department that would make Bed Bath and Beyond jealous. And there, in the middle of all this great product synergy, Al and Melissa Thompson carved a place for Devine Color in their paint department.

The launch was fantastic!  Caymans couldn't wait to paint their walls with Devine Color.

I took in as much Cayman Color inspiration as I could, and I couldn't wait to bring it back home and turn it all into color realities for Devine Color,
