Choose the perfectcolour

One of the hardest aspects of redecorating is getting the colours right. This is particularly true when dealing with walls. You have

to consider how a colour will look alongside your furniture, the natural lighting in the room, and myriad other things. There is an

app, however, that will make this process much quicker and easier – Dulux Visualizer.

1

The motivation

The obvious motivation of the app is to

sell products, but credit to Dulux for making

an app that offers instant inspiration, and

which is extremely easy to use.

2

See your wall

Tap the big green icon (bottom right),

and you will see your wall through the app.

You can now touch the wall, which will add

your chosencolour from the bottom.

3

It transforms

The immediate transformation is

impressive, and all you then need to do is scroll

through the colours at the bottom and then

tap the wall again.

4

Even more colours

Tap ‘More Colours’ at the bottom, and

you will see more palettes to choose from.

You will likely have a tone in mind, so this

helps to narrow down the options.

5

Save your favourites

When the right colour choice hits you, it

can be saved as a favourite with a note of the

room, as well. Don’t fret, it won’t take long to

find the right colours.

6

Finish the job

When you are finished choosing the

right colours for your home, you can purchase

the paints from within the app. This is a very

impressive and simple solution.

Pick out colours

There is an app called Color Name AR that lets you instantly find the ‘exact’ colour you are seeing in front of you. This will take

the task of picking out colours from furniture or flowers, and then matching paints with them, to a whole new level. Bear in mind,

however, that you don’t need to get too specific with finding the exact colours.

1

Snap and capture

Take a photo, and then tap on a specific

area to instantly see the colour. The RGB

value and the colour name will be presented

at the top.

2

The true value

You can now see all of the values for the

colour, which is especially useful when using

a physical paint-picking shop that can create

customised paint.

3

AR scanning

The AR feature is even faster at picking

out colours. Simply move the iPhone around,

and everycolour spotted is immediately

detailed at the top for your reference.
