Choosing the right paint color sounds simple—until you’re staring at hundreds of swatches and second-guessing every shade of white, gray, and blue. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to match colors to your furniture, lighting, or flooring, you’re not alone.
That’s where our in-store color consultations at Abbott Paint & Carpet come in. With expert staff at all three of our locations—St. Paul, Stillwater, and White Bear Lake—we're here to help you find the perfect color for your space, with confidence.
Why In-Store Color Consultations Matter
Color can completely transform a room. But it's not just about choosing a shade you like—it's about choosing a color that works with your lighting, your furniture, your flooring, and even your mood.
Our in-store consultations help take the guesswork out of the process by guiding you through:
- Undertones and how they affect the feel of a room
- How natural and artificial light impact paint colors
- Which finishes are best for high-traffic areas or specific surfaces (think kitchen and bathrooms)
- Coordinating with existing materials like tile, wood, or upholstery
Expert Guidance You Can Trust
When you walk into Abbott Paint & Carpet, you’re not left to figure it out on your own. Our sales staff are more than just friendly faces—they’re trained professionals with years of experience in Benjamin Moore, colors, product selection, and real-world application.
Whether you’re painting one accent wall or your entire home, we listen carefully to your needs, look at photos or samples you bring in, and help narrow down options to just the right shade and finish.
Bring Your Vision—We’ll Help Make It Real
To get the most out of your consultation, bring along:
- Photos of your space in natural and artificial light
- Fabric swatches, flooring samples, or tile pieces
- Inspiration images from Pinterest, Instagram, or magazines
We’ll use these to help you build a color palette that’s not only beautiful but uniquely yours.
The Right Paint Makes All the Difference
Once you’ve landed on a color you love, we’ll help you choose the right paint line for your needs—whether it’s a durable option for a busy hallway or a rich, ultra-matte finish for a cozy bedroom.
And because we carry premium paint- Benjamin Moore and offer custom color matching, we make sure you leave with a product that performs just as beautifully as it looks.

At Abbott Paint & Carpet, we don’t rush or upsell. Our goal is simple: to help you make choices you’ll be happy with for years to come. You’ll never feel like “just another sale” here—we genuinely want your project to succeed.
