Colour Consultant Sydney – Interior & Exterior Paint Consultations with Dulux Expertise
Used by families across Sydney + South Coast.
Looking for a professional colour consultant in Sydney? I offer expert paint colour consultations for both interiors and exteriors, helping you choose the perfect palette with confidence. As a qualified Dulux colour consultant, I guide you through the Dulux range (and other trusted brands) to find shades that suit your home’s style, natural light, and surrounding environment. Whether you’re freshening up your interior walls or selecting an exterior scheme for street appeal, I’ll help you avoid costly mistakes and achieve a timeless, cohesive look.
Why Work With a Colour Consultant for Paint?
Choosing paint colours seems simple… until you’re standing in front of a wall of swatches, wondering why “white” comes in 147 versions. A professional colour consultant takes away the overwhelm and helps you make confident decisions.
Interior Paint Colour Consultations
Your interior colours set the tone for daily life. Soft neutrals can create calm, while bold feature walls can make a statement. But if the undertones are wrong, your “warm grey” might look blue and your “soft white” could turn yellow.
During an interior paint colour consultation, we’ll:
Assess the natural and artificial light in each room
Select wall, trim, and ceiling colours that complement your furniture and finishes
Create a cohesive palette that flows from room to room
Provide a detailed schedule you can give straight to your painter
The result? Interiors that feel consistent, welcoming, and beautifully put together.
Exterior Paint Colour Consultations
Your exterior scheme is the first thing people notice about your home. The right colours can enhance curb appeal, highlight architectural details, and help your home feel anchored to its surroundings.
In an exterior paint colour consultation, we’ll:
Select colours for cladding, render, or brickwork
Choose accents for doors, gutters, fascia, and trims
Consider the surrounding landscape and neighbouring homes
Recommend durable finishes that withstand the Australian climate
A professional eye makes sure your exterior feels fresh, timeless, and adds value to your property.
I look at your home’s architecture, natural light, and existing finishes to recommend paint colours that actually work together. Instead of guessing or following trends that date quickly, you’ll end up with a timeless palette that feels like you.
Dulux Colour Consultant Sydney
I often work with the Dulux paint range because it offers one of the most reliable and extensive palettes in Australia. From timeless neutrals to bold feature shades and durable exterior paints, Dulux has options for every style of home.
As a Dulux colour consultant in Sydney, I make it simple to choose from their thousands of shades. Instead of testing endless swatches, you’ll receive a curated shortlist of colours tailored to your home’s natural light, finishes, and architecture.
Whether you’re painting inside, outside, or both, I’ll help you create a palette that’s cohesive, practical, and timeless.

A one-on-one session in your home or online
Assessment of natural light and existing finishes
Curated paint palettes using Dulux and other trusted brands

FAQ: Paint Colour Consultations — Your Top Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Colour Consultations in South Coast & Sydney Regions
What exactly does a paint colour consultation include—and how do I prepare?
Answer: A consultation typically begins with a chat about your style, your home’s interior or exterior needs, and any inspiration you already have. You’ll be asked for photos, floor plans, or your vision board. Then, you’ll view curated sample palettes in real light, from which your tailored colour scheme will emerge. Preparing ahead with a wish list of “must-haves” versus “nice-to-haves” makes the session highly productive.
What is a colour consultation?
Answer: A colour consultation is a personalised session where I help you choose interior and exterior paint colours for your home. You’ll get tailored advice so your palette looks cohesive and suits your space.
Do you only use Dulux paint?
Answer: No, while I often work as a Dulux colour consultant, I also use other trusted paint brands. Dulux is a favourite because of its extensive range and reliability, but the choice always depends on your project.
Do paint colour consultants only help with paint, or can they assist with full material selections too?
Answer: Colour consultants often extend beyond paint. Many, like Elm & Ember, offer full new-build selections—covering cabinetry, benchtops, tiles, fixtures, lighting, and hardware—ensuring all finishes work together cohesively.
Can you help with exterior colours?
Answer: Yes, I provide full exterior paint consultations to help you choose colours for cladding, render, gutters, fascia, and front doors that complement your architecture and neighbourhood.
How do I choose exterior colours for homes in the Southern Highlands or South West Sydney?
Answer: Cooler light and seasonal changes in the Southern Highlands mean colours look very different than on the coast. Warmer neutrals, soft earthy tones, and natural finishes like stone or timber pair well with the crisp Highlands light. In South West Sydney, durability against heat is key, so lighter tones that reflect warmth and stay fresh over time are often the best choice. Our consultations ensure your exterior works with both climate and lifestyle.
Why is it better to hire a colour consultant instead of choosing paint myself?
Answer: Choosing paint colours without expert guidance often leads to costly mistakes—like undertones that clash with flooring, colours that look dull in natural light, or finishes that don’t last in your environment. A consultant ensures your palette is timeless, functional, and tailored to your home, saving you stress and expensive re-painting.
How much does a paint colour consultation cost?
Answer: Colour consultation fees vary depending on the size of your home and whether we’re selecting for interiors, exteriors, or both. I’ll provide clear pricing before we start.
Do you offer virtual colour consultations?
Yes, I also offer online consultations. You’ll send me photos, floor plans, or inspiration images, and we’ll work together via Zoom to finalise your perfect paint palette.
