ABOUT OUR QUALITY
Dear Painter,
As you know, paint brands are a lot like cars. All regulations and parts are the same, but in cost, look, and feel, due to their engineering, they drive very differently. Having been a DIY painter all my life, I committed to liberating homeowners from color conflict and painting anxiety with the most beautiful and effortless paint application. I engineered a colorful transformational ride from beginning to end so the homeowner owns both the road and the destination.
I chose the family-owned 97-year-old Diamond Vogel Paint Company as my paint manufacturer due to their superb paint-engineering skills and commitment to honoring my color craft by combining my art form with a paint formula and finish that delivers a one-of-a-kind color transformational experience.

ABOUT CONSULTATIONS
Color Baggage by Gretchen Schauffler uses colorful memories and experiences, the color wheel as a vehicle of enlightenment, and a bucket of paint to transform and harmonize your environment with shades of belonging, chemistry, and connection. After performing 4,000 Color Baggage transformations herself and hearing from thousands of delighted customers who continue to express the long-lasting benefits of Gretchen's color theory, method, and products, this is what Gretchen learned:
What we harmonize we magnetize.
The deliberate and intentional application of color to create an environment that reflects one's sense of colorful beauty and harmony fosters a profound sense of satisfaction—and produces feelings of well-being. Growth, creativity, and possibility are sure to follow, magnetizing more of the same.
"Wishing you a vibrant and inspiring place that resonates with your true essence." —Gretchen
ABOUT GRETCHEN
Gretchen Schauffler's journey with painting started as a way to find belonging, growth, and expansion. Through her love for art, she discovered the power of color and how it could be used to create harmony in people's lives. She started blending paint colors, making glazes, and coordinating custom colors, using her walls as giant canvases to experiment with different color palettes. Drawing inspiration from the seven colors of the rainbow, she used the Color Wheel as a vehicle of enlightenment. She showed people how to become masters of their own color palettes. Using a bucket of paint as a creative and transformative ritual, anyone could paint their home in shades of belonging, affinity, and connection. Gretchen's work has shown that color is not just an aesthetic choice but a powerful tool for creating harmony and transforming lives. The color harmonies she creates are always unique, but the results are the same - where harmony exists, growth, prosperity, and possibility will follow.
