Your client may be more willing to step out of their comfort zone when it comes to spaces like bathrooms that may feel \u201clow-stakes.\u201d Once they realize it\u2019s possible to use color without creating a bright, garish mess, they may be a little more willing to branch out in other rooms as well.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Color_for_contrast\"><\/span>Color for contrast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nFor clients set on a neutral palette, suggest adding hints of color to bring an otherwise bland room to life. Using color in small amounts will be an incredible improvement to a room\u2019s character, but it won\u2019t be bright enough to scare off your color-timid client. Accent colors don\u2019t need to be too vibrant, either\u2014consider a contrasting neutral hue to set off your main colors.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accessorize\"><\/span>Accessorize<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nPainting with color or buying colored furniture may seem a little too \u201cpermanent\u201d for a client intimidated by color. Instead, try bringing color into the room with bright accessories. Pillows, lampshades, throw blankets, or pieces of art are all good bets for offsetting a neutral room. Many people aren\u2019t actually afraid of color, but of choosing the wrong color. Because accessories are so easy to switch out, they\u2019re the perfect way for your clients to experiment.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-453\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Colorful-accessories-in-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful accessories in living room\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_an_accent_wall\"><\/span>Create an accent wall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re working with a client who\u2019s looking for some color but balks at the thought of painting a whole room, suggest creating an accent wall. For a more subtle contrast, pick a deeper version of the color used to paint the rest of the walls in the room; it might not be bright, but it can still help to disrupt the potential monotony of a room done entirely in the same color.\n\nFor a bolder client, try a bolder color. A bright accent wall lets you use a deep, vibrant color without overpowering the rest of the room. Use accents and accessories in a similar shade to spread color throughout the room. With the right palette, an accent wall will fit into a room so naturally clients will hardly remember their concerns.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-455\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Modern-living-room-with-accent-wall.jpg\" alt=\"Modern living room with accent wall\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balance_warm_and_cool\"><\/span>Balance warm and cool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nOn its own, a warm color can be too intense, especially for someone who\u2019s hesitant about using color in the first place. Balancing out a warm color with touches of a cooler one can help tone down the intensity. Extra-cautious clients can balance warm and cool colors as accents to a more neutral room, if they\u2019re still concerned about the colors overpowering the space.\nWhat are your tips?\n\nHave you ever dealt with a client squeamish of color?
