Hi Barbara-just a note of thanks for help with the exterior color. It seems like the darkest color..the first one you picked was the unanimous winner! We appreciate your time and patience and will be in touch when we get going more on the inside.

The existing blue tile was a source of

Frustration to the owners.

Wall colors were selected to relate specifically

to the colors of the stone chimney.

The deeper stony color of the walls balances the bright blue floor andtakes the eye away from the blue, creatinga more harmonious environment.

Thank you for your assistance with our house. Your expert color choices sure

made a difference!

The paint colors are GREAT! I have received so many compliments on the

room colors,

especially the hallway color.

I appreciated your list of ideas with the other rooms too. It was a pleasure

working with you.

I found you through word of mouth, and now others will hear about you from

me.K.M.

Prior to working with Barbara, my love of color had always led to paint

choices that I became

dissatisfied with after only a short time, and rooms that had no continuity

After attempting it on my own several times, I found Barbara's number

through the web and I am

totally thrilled with the results! She is easy to work with, free-flowing with

creative ideas and

has a great attention to detail.

I would recommend her to anyone interested in - once and for all -

decorating with color and

getting it RIGHT!!!A.M.

Residence: transition between kitchen and dining room areas in open space of a condo. Abstract painted element defines the areas with contrasting color


Thank you so much for the work you did consulting on colors for my

dining

room and kitchen. When I told my friends that I hired a "colorist" to

pick

out paint colors, most of them looked incredulous--"why don't you

just pick

out your own colors?“

However, after struggling with little chips of paint, I knew that I was

not capable

of finding the right color from a myriad of choices. You were careful,

took time to

explore color options, and had a great eye for what tones and colors

work in a

given space.

The results are fabulous. Color really makes a difference. The colors

in the room

harmonize well with all of the other elements in the room. The colors

are the first

thing that people comment on when they see our new rooms.

Thank you. I am convinced that I would never have achieved the

results that you

did.J. F.

The goal was to develop a low contrast color palettefor smooth transitions between the adjacent spaces.Conditions: extreme variations in lighting and space fromone room to the next.

The solution: variations in saturation of 2 different paint colors.

Barbara Jacobs helped us from the very beginning by truly understanding not

just our design philosophy

and business mission, but by actively participating in our brainstorming

sessions with architect, designer,

contractor, and business owners.

Her deep understanding of the psychological effect of color on the mood and

emotions, current trends,

and her breadth of experience and depth of knowledge of color from other

cultures helped us achieve

an environment that truly astounds our customers.

And they come back again, and again, and again to experience our

environment and product.

We could not have done it without her." Paul Fullarton

My goal was to take two very sparsely detailed and vanilla colored spaces and with a new coat of paint create an office suite that was more fitting for my architectural practice.

Your help and guidance in selecting the right palette of colors was invaluable.Your insight into where we should apply the various paint colors to create interestand detail was right on.

Clients and other visitors to the office are always impressed to see the space,are quick to comment on their appreciation of the paint scheme, and are alwaysamazed by how much something as “simple” as paint color can transform a space.

Thanks again for your significant contribution towards the office makeover.

Working with Barbara on our project (Authoria, Inc.) was a collaborative process

which delivered

outstanding results. As part of our team, she gave the project the “visual energy”

we were seeking

for this young and growing company.

Barbara produced a palette of colors, which still look fresh, and combined them to

create a series

of decorative finishes which were used throughout their corporate headquarters as

well as in an

off-site training facility.

The end results were unique spaces which helped create and convey our client’s

corporate identity

in the marketplaceCynthia L. Brumm

“…color contains within itself a little-studied but enormous power, which can influence the entire human body as a physical organism.”
