IT'S NOT HARD TO CHOOSE PAINT COLORS.

IT'S HARD TO PAINT A FEELING.

Luckily, I happen to be a Color Baggage expert.

There are two kinds of baggage.

Color baggage is your unconditional baggage. The colorful memories, emotions, reactions, and pleasures that made identity visible. A palette shaped by childhood, culture, joy, dreams, places that made you feel most alive. From unwrapping a stack of Lifesavers to wearing your favorite shirt.

This color identity, living inside of you as a palette, creating an irresistible attraction to colors that feel like they belong to you. Colors that helped shape your personal sense of beauty, harmony, and belonging in the world.

A bag ready to be unpack and create a world of your own starting with your home.

When we ignore our Color Baggage and choose through the eyes of others, it becomes almost impossible to choose the right paint color because you are looking for a feeling, not a color.

This feeling cannot be fulfilled by anyone else's life but your own.

That's why choosing a paint color is so hard. You're not looking for the right paint color. You're trying to paint a feeling. The Color Baggage Experience is an invitation to know and trust yourself, your color attractions and color a beautiful life in this world, starting with your own home.

Glad you are here,

Gretchen.

THE EXPERIENCE FAQs


What is this experience like?

The Color Baggage Experience begins with a video introduction, followed by a guided journal and Palette videos that help you uncover your unconditional Color Baggage.

Through reflections and color exercises, you will learn to see and feel the energy of color in your own home, in your own light, and in relationship to the things you already love.

Most people think they are choosing a paint color. They are really looking for a feeling.

A feeling of belonging that can only come from who you are, what you carry, and the life you want to live inside your home.

Why is this different from other color consultations?

Everything.

Gretchen Schauffler is a Color Baggage expert who has personally helped over 4,000 homeowners unpack their color baggage and recolor their homes based on the color identity already living inside them as a palette. This palette creates an irresistible attraction to colors that feel like they belong to you, colors shaped by your memories, your belongings, your light, your beauty, your harmony, and your sense of belonging in the world. It’s not hard to choose a paint color. What’s hard is knowing who you are and what you want to do with all that baggage.

Why don’t you show before-and-after photos?

Because your home is not content for other people to judge, compare, or consume. Instead of asking you to measure your home against someone else’s budget, furniture, lifestyle, or taste, this experience asks you to focus on your own Color Baggage. The people who go through this experience share their homes with family and friends, the people who belong in their lives.

What we share is not the before and after. What we share is how it felt when their home became the palette. Because it is not about how a room looks. It is about the feeling it creates.

Can my painter use another paint brand?

No.

Paint matching can recreate a pigment, but it cannot recreate the way color behaves, reflects, and harmonizes inside your home.

Substituting the paint compromises the result. When you are creating a feeling, not just choosing a color, every detail matters.
