A color scheme is consisting of the primary color, second color, and few accent colors.
You will find neutral or muted color in the main color section. The second color is nearly the same as the primary color but light or darker. And accent color is brighter and bolder to the primary color.
While selecting the primary color and accent color for your garage, firstly learn for what purpose you are using your garage. Are you going to do auto repairing, detailing, or maintenance type work in your garage? Is it your wood-shop? Or you and your friends are going to lay a game in the garage? Or your garage is a place where you are going to park your car?
You can use your garage for several reasons.
The darker color will give you a more relaxed feeling than other colors. On the other hand, lighter colors will make the space a bit larger than usual because they reflect light.
The brighter color will give a vibrant look, whereas muted colors are peaceful.
And dirt will be more visible in lighter colors than darker colors.
You can choose the color based on any exposed items of your garage. Either it can be the color of your car or favorite sports team or any other color. Find out which one is the most noticeable item in your garage. Choose a color that matches with the most noticeable items of the garage.
Let’s say the most noticeable item in your garage is your car. If the car color is red, can you go for a purple color? You should choose a color that matches with red.
Moreover, you are planning to upgrade the concrete floor to the tile floor; you need to take this point also into consideration.
Now, which color could be an excellent option for choosing?
You can choose white, grey, or beige, which are known as a neutral color. Then choose an accent color that matches any garage items (cabinets, cars or tools, etc.). This is the safest way to start picking the right color.
After picking the general paint color for the garage wall, then look for several paint color swatches from different manufacturers.
Look at the colors intently, give a trial of 1 or 2 colors, and then make the decision.
Apply large patches of the trial colors on the garage wall to see how the paint looks like. Learn how much brightness required to fill up the whole garage, make the estimated cost and purchase.
