With Marie-Claude Tremblay

A room’s light changes a colour far more than any screen can show. Together we’ll look at how to read a shade in your home, how to test it for three dollars rather than four litres, and how to choose a finish that will stand up to use.

The Schedule

What We Cover

Eastern Time (Toronto)

  1. Welcome and Session Outline

    5 min min

  2. Reading a Room’s Light

    15 min min

    Why the same green looks grey on a north wall and bright on a south wall, and what that changes when it’s time to choose.

  3. Testing a Shade for Three Dollars

    15 min min

    Where to put the sample, how long to look at it, and the two mistakes that make you repaint twice.

  4. Choosing the Right Finish

    10 min min

    Matte, satin or gloss depending on the room, the light and the actual wear on the surface.

  5. Your Questions, Live

    15 min min

    The last fifteen minutes are yours. Write your question when you register and we’ll answer it.

The schedule may shift by a few minutes depending on your questions. The session never runs past the announced time.

Sound Familiar?

  • You’ve had three samples taped to your living room wall for a month and you can’t decide.

  • You’ve already repainted a piece of furniture twice because the colour wasn’t the one you saw in the store.

  • No one has ever really explained to you when to choose matte over satin.

  • You have a specific question and you’d like to ask someone who has already heard it a hundred times.

Speaking at Choosing Your Colour Without Getting It Wrong

Fifteen years choosing shades for older homes, where no wall is truly white and no light is truly neutral.

Questions We’re Asked

Before You Book

  • Is the Session Free?

    Yes, with no obligation to buy. We only ask for an email address to send you the link.

  • What Do I Need to Follow Along?

    A browser and an internet connection. It works on a phone, but a larger screen shows colours more accurately.

  • What If I Can’t Make It on the 15th?

    Register anyway. The replay is sent by email after the session and then stays in the library.

  • How Do I Ask My Question?

    Write it in the registration form. We group the questions before the session and answer as many as we can in the last fifteen minutes.

One Hour Now, Two Fewer Coats Later

The session is free and spots are limited, because beyond a certain number we can no longer answer everyone.
