Online Color Visualizers You Have To Try Before Choosing One

The color of a room is one of the most important components of its design.

"Color is really the best way to bring a sense of life and a sense of your own personality to your home," said Amy Panos, the senior editor of Home Design at Better Homes and Gardens.

Better Home and Gardens put out its first-ever color palette with April's collor issue as well as a promotional video with some advice to those choosing colors for spaces.

Even for those who are design-savvy, picking the right tone or hue can be daunting. It's important to make the decision for yourself though.

Fortunately, Better Homes and Gardens and a number of paint suppliers have made it a little easier with palettes and interactive color visualizers.

"There's no wrong way. It all works together and it's like they're their own interior designer," Eddie Ross, the East coast editor and producer for Better Home and Gardens, said of the palette and visualizer. "I cannot tell you the color you need to live with, you need to be happy with the colors you choose."

Here are some of the color visualizers we liked:

My Color Finder, Better Homes and Gardens: Probably our favorite of the bunch. You can upload a photo of your own room as well as choose sample interiors and exteriors on the website. There is also tab that takes you to rooms BHG editors have designed and one that helps you find a local painter. You can go to My Color Finder by clicking here.
