In short, we want to teach you about the importance of color strategy, with a primary focus on its endless applications in interior design!
Color holds immense significance in our lives - it is everywhere and over 93% of our perception is shaped by it. Color holds the power to inspire, attract, engage, enlighten, and much more. Research shows that color influences about 65% of all purchasing decisions and can boost brand recognition by up to 87%.
Implementing color into your business strategy in a way that is accurate, reliable, and cost-effective also presents its own set of obstacles. On which note, we wholeheartedly believe that investing your valuable time to better understand the inner workings of color strategy is very much worth it.
At The Color Insider, it is our job to provide you with important and intriguing news, practical tips and insights which will hopefully revolutionize your perspective on color and inspire you in your creative endeavors (professional or not)!

Interior Styles:
With this section, learn about all sorts of existing interior design styles, their key elements and according color palettes! First I give a brief history of the style (how it came about), discuss the key elements that make the style what it is, and then get into the color palette. I curate the color palettes myself based on the inspiration images, using real colors from notorious paint brands.
