CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the result represent?
The result reflects the strongest match between the response pattern and one of five color directions: Warm White, Soft Blue, Sage Green, Terracotta, or Charcoal. It indicates an initial preference profile, not a final paint selection.
How are scores interpreted when categories are close?
The highest score indicates the primary direction. Scores within one point suggest a blended result and may support combining elements from more than one direction.
How should items be answered?
Answer based on typical preferences rather than temporary mood or a single recent experience. Select the option that best fits overall intent for the room.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The questionnaire includes 20 items.
What steps should follow after receiving a result?
Use the result as a starting point and confirm with real paint samples in the room. Evaluate samples at different times of day because lighting, finish, and furnishings can change perceived color.
