Megan Clark Architectural Color Consultant

Megan helped my wife and me determine the right colors for the exterior of our house. She was excellent. She was able to listen to our preferences and then provide some great additional considerations that we would have missed. For example, she knew how to reconcile our preferences with some natural constraints that could not be changed. As another example, she steered us away from some paint colors that would have looked worse after withstanding a lot of sun. We ended up with colors with which we are very pleased. My wife and I highly recommend her.

I am a painting contractor, I been in the painting business for 11 years, I deal with colors designers very often, but after painting 1 of the exteriors painting project that I had this summer, the color scheme looks awesome, I take a lot of pride on my work, but after I saw the color combination that Megan Clark design for this project, it made my work look a lot better.
I recommend Megan for 1 of my customers for a 4 unit stucco building project and my customer and I couldn’t be happier, again her color design came out beautiful.
I will be recommending Megan to my customers every time a have a chance.
Highly recommended.

Megan did a great job in recommending the colors for my house, which was recently remodeled and repainted. I used all her recommendations and am very pleased with the results.

How many colors exist? The best answer is infinity! Careful measurements of our visual system’s best performance have been made by psychophysicists (people who study human responses, like seeing color, to things in the world, like light). They have shown that we can see about 1000 levels of light dark, 100 levels of red-​green and 100 levels of yellow-​blue for a single viewing condition in a laboratory. This means that the total number of colors we can see is about 1000×100×100 = 10,000,000 (10 million). What color looks like is greatly affected by the viewing conditions. These conditions include the color of the lighting, the amount of lighting, and other colors in the scene. Colors also appear in different modes when they appear on different objects such as surfaces, light sources, or within volumes. Different people also have slight differences in the way they see color. It’s really quite plain and simple; do not mess with color, don’t waste money buying endless swatches or little containers of paint, hoping you’ll get it right. Hire Megan Clark and she will get it right for you the first time. I have used her on two occasions to help me choose the ‘right’ colors in my very large home, which is filled with light and many windows but also very tricky as I’ve learned by my many mistakes in trying to choose colors on my own. Before Megan, I got it wrong every single time and ended up crying on one occasion. There simply is no one better and unless you are an expert which most of us simply are not, Megan is worth her weight in gold. She’s the best little secret in Marin County! She is fast, she is efficient and you can run through the palates of what works and what doesn’t. She does not criticize; she’ll gently guide you and let you ultimately decide. If you hate it, tell her and she’ll pull out a different color, nothing fazes her. It is not about ego, she listens and she ‘hears’ and she’s got the eye needed to help guide you into what’s right for your environment. It is ultimately your choice in how you want to paint a room but Megan will point out things you won’t be aware of such as how a painted room might look welcoming, or not, larger or smaller, too dark, too light… or simply just the wrong shade for reasons you won’t understand until you do.

We have used Megan on countless jobs over the past eight years. Not only is she knowledgeable about paint colors, she is also a great interior designer! She transformed a Mill Valley bungalow into a stunning home with amazing architectural details throughout. She has a fun personality and is very easy to work with, which is really essential when you are renovating as it can be stressful. You should check her out in the HGTV Curb Appeal archives. We wouldn’t use anyone else!

Megan is a visionary when it comes to color scheme. She has the intuitive instincts so important to success that enables her to size up a property in its neighborhood context, and by also taking into account its age, unique features and style, she can brew a blend of complimentary colors that in our case gave the whole property a more vibrant and contemporary feel. She is very nice to work with. Great personality. Honest. Flexible. I became a good buddy to her dog when they came down to SF for the assessment. All it took was a handful of cheerios. You know dogs. If we are ever in another position to use Megan I would not hesitate to call her or recommend her to others.
