" I feel very fortunate to have met Adela through my painting contractor. Since I had never worked with a color consultant before, I wasn’t sure what to expect or whether hiring one would really make a difference. After working with Adela, I can honestly say that having a professional color consultant was one of the best decisions I made for my exterior painting project.

 

Choosing exterior colors is much more complicated than simply picking colors that you like. The colors need to work together, complement the architecture of the building, and look right in different lighting and surroundings. With so many choices available, it can be overwhelming to make the right decision on your own. Adela helped take that uncertainty away.

 

From our very first conversation, I could tell that Adela truly knows her craft. She has an incredible eye for color and design, and she was able to explain how different color choices would affect the overall look and character of my building. Her expertise gave me confidence that I was making thoughtful choices rather than simply guessing at what might look good.

 

What I appreciated most about Adela, though, was her patience. She took the time to listen to what I was looking for, answer all of my questions, and carefully explain her recommendations and the reasoning behind them. I never felt rushed or pressured. She made sure I understood the process and felt comfortable with the decisions we were making together.  What began as an unfamiliar and somewhat overwhelming part of my painting project became a very enjoyable experience because of Adela. Her knowledge, patience, and personal attention made me feel that I was in very good hands.

 

I also found her pricing to be very reasonable, especially considering the level of expertise, personalized attention, and value she provides. I truly felt that the investment in her professional guidance was well worth it.

 

I would wholeheartedly recommend Adela to anyone planning an exterior painting project. If you are unsure about your color choices, I strongly believe that working with a knowledgeable color consultant like Adela can make a tremendous difference. I am genuinely grateful that our paths crossed and very thankful for the guidance she gave me in making my building look its very best.”

"When it comes to picking out a paint color it never fails that I start to feel this anxiety even before going to the paint store.  Then I start to look at all the different shades in a color I am looking for and I get more confused.  This time around after making a couple trips to the paint store purchasing samples colors, putting it on the wall I just was not finding what I was looking for.  So I made another trip to the paint store to try again and made a comment to an employee that I was just getting so frustrated I should of hired a color consultant.  That is when he introduced me to Adela with Color Inspirations.  After having Adela come to our condo to take a look at the remodel ideas for our two bathrooms we came up with a color for the primary bath that came out just perfect and I love it!  The primary bath is now complete and I could not be happier.  The color could not be more perfect.  We are still working on the other bathroom and that bath has yet to be painted but I am confident that with the color we went with and the help from Adela we will love it just as much.”

"Working with Adela at Color Inspiration was such a delight! She made the entire process effortless and enjoyable from start to finish.

 

Adela has a remarkable talent for presenting just the right number of options so we could make confident decisions without feeling overwhelmed. Her thoughtful feedback helped us move through selections quickly and decisively. She listened to our needs, understood our vision immediately, and guided us with expertise while honoring our preferences.

​

Thanks to her collaborative approach and genuine enthusiasm, we reached our final decisions way faster than expected. I highly recommend Adela and Color Inspiration to anyone seeking professional color consultation with a personal touch!"

"People who are good working with color are rare. Adela is one of those rare people. Our color palette for the interior of the house is comprised of neutrals but neutrals are not easy. Adela has the ability to see if a color is too brown, too blue, too red or too yellow when recommending another neutral to assure that what she is choosing coordinates with colors/neutrals that may have already been chosen by the client. Not everyone has this ability which is absolutely essential when working with color.

 

For our kitchen cabinets she was able to take a floor tile and custom blend colors for the kitchen uppers and lowers that weren't to strong visually as we have a very small kitchen. She also made sure the cabinet colors were complimentary to the rest of the palette of our home as our kitchen is open to all of the other rooms.

 

For many people choosing color can be stressful. Adela is always calm but with a quiet confidence.

Since working with her in 2021 I've continue to be a loyal client!"

"My entire family loved working with Adele - her ability to quickly assess what colors would work and what my family would like (including 2 teen girls) was incredible. She also made it very fun and asked us to send her our Pinterest - inspiration/vision boards a few days in advance to get ideas.

 

We got an entire home paint worth of colors in a few hours and it was fun too! Adele is very customer focused but also let us know when our ideas weren’t the most practical or realistic. I highly recommend working with Adele and can’t wait to hire her for future projects!"

"I was so fortunate to meet Adela by chance one day in the Mission.  She helped me create a beautiful calm home with correct paint colors.  I highly recommend using Adela as your color consultant.  I am myself am an artist but paint on walls is a total different avenue.  Use Adela she is great!"
