Consumers getting bolder with colour choices More and more Canadians are experimenting with colour on their walls. That's the finding of a recent survey by leading architectural paint brand PARA Paints, in polling its more than 400 paint dealers across the country. The study, conducted in Fall 2006, shows that only 39 per cent of consumers prefer neutral colours for their walls, regardless of the room being painted. This compares to a 2002 PARA survey which revealed that 90 per cent of Canadian consumers opted for neutral colours - such as whites, beiges, and grays- when painting their homes. "These results demonstrate that the growth in popularity in the last five years of television decorating shows and home décor experts is having an impact on homeowners," said Shawn Graham, Senior Brand Manager of PARA Paints and a member of the international colour forecaster, Color Marketing Group. "Whereas five years ago, neutral colours were overwhelmingly our best-selling paints, today there's more of a balance, as consumers become more bold in their colour choices and less afraid to try out-of-the-ordinary looks for their walls." According to the survey, green is the number one choice when it comes to colour, with 15 per cent of consumers choosing green shades for their rooms. Red and yellow are next, with 13 and 12 per cent of consumers, respectively, opting for these two hues. Blue is chosen by four per cent of consumers. "With the warmer weather here, now's the perfect time to add colour to your walls, and join the growing number of Canadians who are becoming more adventurous on the home-décor front," says Graham.
