Paint Color Consultation
Paint colors look different in every home, especially in different lighting. We help homeowners across Franklin, Brentwood, and the Nashville area move forward with the color they choose.
Choosing paint colors sounds simple until you’re holding 12 nearly identical swatches and none of them look right once they’re on the wall. Then the lighting changes, and everything feels different. That’s where New Direction Painting helps homeowners across Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, and surrounding areas move forward with clarity.
With more than 1,000 interior painting projects behind us, we’ve seen how color, lighting, and finish all interact in real homes, not just on a paint card. We’re happy to share practical pointers as you narrow in on the color that feels right for your space.
Once you’ve made your selection, we can apply sample swatches, walk through the plan, and make sure the final paint job looks clean, consistent, and exactly the way you expected.

Brent Fosner
New Direction were wonderful to work with! We had a job that needed a lot of prep and care. After getting four bids, we felt most confident in Jared and his team to tackle the job.
They were a pleasure to have at our house every day, and they were kind and easy to communicate with. Our house now looks amazing! So glad we hired the right team.
Alexis Luckey
We could not be happier with the work that was performed by Jared and his paint crew. Jared was exceptionally responsive, showed up on time everyday and came prepared to get the job done. His crew was respectful of our property and took extreme care to make our home beautiful.
How Much Does a Paint Color Consultation Cost?
Every painting project includes a pre-paint walkthrough where we review your selected color, finishes, and project details before work begins.
Color selection is always your decision, but we do make the painting process easier once you’ve chosen your direction.
We’ll walk through your space, confirm the scope, and provide a clear, detailed estimate before anything starts.
If you’d like expert help choosing a color, Sherwin-Williams offers a free virtual color consultation as an additional resource.
As for the overall painting cost? That depends on a few key factors:
- Size of your home – Larger homes take more time, materials, and prep. So square footage plays a big role in pricing.
- Number of rooms and surfaces – Walls, ceilings, baseboards, doors, cabinets. Each surface adds time and detail to the job.
- Wall condition – If your walls have dents, cracks, or old paint issues, we’ll handle minor drywall repairs, but prep time can affect the total cost.
- Paint type and finishes – Premium paints, specialty finishes, or moisture-resistant coatings (like in kitchens or bathrooms) may adjust the price slightly.
- Custom requests or unique designs – Accent walls, cabinetry, or specialized finishes require more precision and care. And that’s factored into your final quote.
