The HomeSavvi Team has scouted the Web to select the best resources available online to help you get educated and make better-informed decisions about color and paint. From online tools to the hottest trends, here are our top picks, and why we like them.    

Benjamin Moore: Guess what? Yes, for you all hooked iPhone users out there, there’s an app for that too! Benjamin Moore doesn’t just offer high-quality paints that interior designers swear by, they also provide a wealth of great online tools for homeowners to experiment with color.

Leatrice Eiseman: Are you dying to know which colors will be all the rage next year or the year after that? Then you’ll want to keep a close eye on predictions from Leatrice Eiseman, the ultimate worldwide authority on color trends.

Sessions Color Calculator: This interactive color wheel featured on the Online School of Design web site helps users select HTML, RGB or CMYK colors, and identifies color harmonies and schemes. It apparently works faster than any other color wheel or HTML color chart.

National Kitchen & Bath Association: Inspiration often starts with pretty pictures. Add award-winning to that, and your eyes are in for a treat! Browse the NKBA’s online Inspiration Gallery for images of past NKBA Design Competition winning projects, and you may well
find your ideal color palette!
