Wellness Paint Consultation
Color Prescription – Choosing a Color Shouldn’t Feel Like Gambling
Overwhelmed by swatches. Worried you’ll regret it in six months. Not sure if that color you loved online will actually work in your light, your room, your life. Most people don’t need convincing that color matters — they need someone who can tell them, with confidence, what will actually work.
Kim Colwell’s color consultations start there. But they go further than a paint store or a typical color consultant can.
Press Quote:
“Color acts like a subliminal message, influencing your thoughts and emotions. Dynamic color combinations stimulate our imagination, and when color is dissonant, it can trigger a stress response.”
— Kim Colwell, as featured in Livingetc
What Makes This Different
Most color consultants match your color to your furniture, your light, your taste. Kim does that too — but she also considers what your colors are doing to you: your mood, your relationships, your sense of calm.
Psychology — Color affects thought and feeling the way sound and scent do. When colors clash without harmony, your subconscious reads it as visual clutter — a low-grade source of stress you never traced back to the walls.
Feng Shui — Kim maps color to your home’s bagua, coordinating each hue with the natural elements it echoes, to direct energy flow rather than just decorate around it.
Shamanic Astrology (optional layer) — Passed to Kim by her mother, a keeper of this Seneca Nation tradition entrusted to her by Grandmother Twylah Hurd Nitsch, former president of the American Seneca Nation.
Artistry — A fine-artist-turned-designer’s eye for what actually looks beautiful, not just theoretically correct.
Creative Ideas Abound
A Color-Blocked Wall, Reimagined
Color blocking in the right colors, scale, poition and design, offer a complete transformation without a full renovation. Above, a plain white wall became a layered sage-and-mustard color block, turning one under-considered surface into the room’s focal point.
An Ombre Effect, Worth the Wait
For Erica Courtney’s Beverly Hills boutique, Kim used a blush-toned ombre paint technique that WWD described as having a “soft, ethereal quality.”
Custom Mural
For Sedona Adjacent retreat space with exotic flavors of irridescent gold.
TESTIMONIALS
“Every expectation was exceeded. Kim provides a service nobody else can touch, due to her feng shui-based and shamanic knowledge, passed down through generations. She wanted to know about my inner life and historic expression as much as my dreams for the future. Kim’s advice was way beyond surface values — it was medicine. The result is a cross between design consultancy and transformational healing. I gained a custom, in-depth prescription — equal to what a naturopath or acupuncturist would make — based on the inner and outer factors of my life. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world, Kim.”
— M. Ysanne, Composer (Tilda Swinton, The Smashing Pumpkins)
“We have worked with Kim Colwell on several projects over the years and we are always impressed by her innovative and idiosyncratic approach to design. Kim is really great at striking a balance between her client’s needs and realizing projects that use unconventional customizations. Working with Kim is really fun as she really sees the potential in utilizing her background in Feng Shui and an adventurous sense of color for her exquisite spaces.”
— Lawson Fenning, rep. Daniel Ingroff
How It Works
Session. Kim advises on paint colors in real time, rendering them live during your consultation, so you see the actual result before committing to a single sample.
Placement. Kim explains exactly how and where each color should go — which wall, which trim, which room — so the plan is specific to your space, not a generic palette.
Follow-Up. A quick follow-up session to review and select your final paint samples once you’ve had time to live with the options.
Optional: Creative Styling. For those who want more than a single wall color, Kim designs color blocking, murals, or custom paint techniques — with renderings included, so you see the vision before it goes on the wall.
Where: Available in person in Los Angeles, or virtually by Zoom. Already booking a Feng Shui Consultation? Color guidance is often woven directly into that session — ask Kim to include it.
