What are the key steps to end paint paralysis when choosing colors?

End paint paralysis by following five clear steps: first, clear visual distractions by using neutral backgrounds; second, define the room’s mood; third, create a shortlist of three to five colors; fourth, test large paint swatches in your home’s real lighting at different times of day; fifth, commit to the color that consistently looks best. This system removes guesswork, boosts confidence, and prevents endless second-guessing.
