Do you remember the Asian Paintsadvertisement a couple of years back?
That hugely popular ad showed how a married couple traversed through the desert to lay hands on a Rajasthani man's powder blue colour pagdi, only because the wife loved its rich colour. When the befuddled man refused to part with it, the couple took their chance to snag it when he had gone for a dip in the river. To which the lady exclaims "Merawala Blue", leaving the Rajasthani man sporting the husband's chic beret.
Yet, I could not correctly visualize my vivid colours in the contrast of my now beige and boring wall.
I wish there was a tool to virtually guide me to take the decision of a colour splash on my beige boredom. I was searching for merawala colour guide!
I had the very same crazy moment when we were renovating my home. I love colours that stand out but do not overpower the overall look and feel of a room. So while renovating we had a plethora of options to choose from! From which colour floor tiles should match the shower curtain to which pillow cushions should complement the display wall in the living room - I was seeing colours!
Bed Bath and More have come up with this unique concept of viewing how your home will look like after it has be painted. So you can visualize how your virtually painted home will look like even before a drop of paint touches the wall.
This ingenious tool is called the PaintFinder.
- Go to #PaintFinder tool on the Bed Bath and More website.
- Click on your choice of shade of paint from the drop-down. It will show you various shade options available.
- Now click on any shade in the palette. (I clicked Sea Breeze)
- Choose any virtual room. You can also see the same colour for all the other rooms in the display.
- Preview a large snapshot of the room.
- Shortlist upto 3 shades and order your shade card. And you're done!
