Choose the colour in the environment where the colour will be used, among furniture, textiles and lighting in the room. See what kind of feelings the colour gives you and how it looks in the environment. 

4. Glossy or matt - choose gloss level based on practicality 

Full matt Harmony interior paint presents colours calmly and smoothly. It is a beautiful and relaxed solution for instance for living room where walls are not constantly in hard usage.
