The last time you purchased paint, what was the most important factor?

Sometimes a fresh color and coat of paint is just the trick to brighten a room and even our mood!  Many SheSpeaks members have talked about their love for redecorating rooms with simple tricks like a new coat of paint.

We were curious to hear how you might choose the paint color for a room?  Please tell us what you think!

    You can have quality paint tinted any color.

    I agree with a lot of others here in quality is very important. It's horrible to paint a whole room or rooms and find out you have to do again a year later because the paint wasn't very good quality. Or have to go over the walls over and over to get it to cover. No fun!

    Quality for me is first because I have had paint that peeled off my wall like plastic and other paint that chipped badly. Color is my second choice. Price would be last for me.

    Color is the most important factor to me but i will only use Martha Stewart brand paint...it is such a nice quality paint.I try to choose an enviromentally friendly paint if one is available in my brand & color of choice.

    Always buy quality over quanity and you will never go wrong. I learned this lesson many years ago with paint bought from a discount store. It was so horrible actually cost me more money to cover it up. I then bought a good quality and was happy.

    after using cheaper paint in the past, it is clear, quality counts!

    I totally think quality is the most important factor when choosing a brand of paint. Once you try a great quality paint you will never go back.

    WE HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT CHEMICALS WE ARE EXPOSED TO. ALL THESE CHILDREN WITH AUTIMSM. (MOST PEOPLE KNOW SOMEONE OR FAMILY WITH IT) AND AS I HAVE FIBROMYALGA/LUPUS/SJOGENS THE DOCTORS OFFICES ARE ALWAYS FULL. IT HAS TO BE THE ENVIORMENT. YEARS AGO IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS. SO MANY ILLNESSES. SO MANY INDIVIDUALS WITH COMPRAMIZED IMMUNE SYSTEMS. WE NEED TO NOT ONLY WATCH WHAT WE PUT IN OUR SYSTEMS BUT WHAT WE BREATH IN.
