Change the way you think about choosing colors:

In 2014, Stagetecture posted a feature about the Color911 app. I am so excited to bring you up to date on the complete redesign and update of the Color911 website, blog and app! It has been exciting, taking our ideas of how we can help people with color in more ways, and turning those ideas into reality! For those who are new to Color911, the app is a user-friendly way of getting color help & inspiration. We make color decisions all day; choosing clothes to wear, making color decisions at work, decorating, or planning a party or even a wedding. When the Color911 app was originally featured it highlighted how you can create your own palette if you are planning any event. Once you have your palette you can instantly share your colors with everyone who needs to know your color choices. By using the Color911 app, everyone from your bridal party to florist will have your information and can match your colors beautifully!

Choosing colors for events, fashion and decorating:

I have come to realize, that people are using Color911 for choosing colors for their events, to their wardrobe to decorating! In the last year the Color911 app has been named a “Must-have app for your next design project” by Architectural Digest and even Elle Décor said the app will “change the way your decorate!” Color911 has many features, among them it gives you an easy way to create your colors, save them for inspiration and share them with friends, family, caterer or designer.

If you’re ever shopping you can take a quick photo, choose the colors from your image and save it all for future reference. You can also share the colors with the person you are shopping for. A great tool if you want to show someone what colors you have in mind, or are a designer and want to show your colors to an assistant or client, You also have the option of finding a color theme within the app that inspires you. Use it as your guide and your colors will harmonize beautifully! I personally created each theme and using them gives you the guidance of a color professional. The app comes with over 100 unique color themes to choose from!

How can the Color911 App help you?

How is the app helpful? Let’s say you want to match your wall color to your rug. Take a photo, save colors you like and adjust colors to account for lighting if needed. You can go to the paint store and find a paint color to compliment your rug, having the color information and image with you in your app, all without having to bring the rug with you.

Whether you are matching the colors of clothing or curtains, the same simple process applies. I have included photos that show how you can capture the colors from an image and what a great tool it is to have at your fingertips. Play with it and explore the colors of the world around you. The Color911 app is available for iOS devices for $3.99 at Apple’s app store.

I hope you have fun with it and more than anything, I hope you’re inspired!  –Amy Wax

How to Use the Color911 App for Creative Color Wedding Planning

I have a wedding that is coming up this summer and I have been deeply involved in planning every detail! We will be married late in July. I found out about an app called Color911. It has been such a tremendous help and has made the whole process so much more fun for me, that I wanted to share it with you.

I first saw the Color911 app in a magazine and did not realize an app that focuses on color had anything to do with me planning my wedding. Then a friend told me about it, and I am so happy to share it with you in the hopes that it will help others as well.

While doing all of my planning, I have had to make so many decisions, as I’m sure you can imagine. I did not realize how many things I have to choose colors for!! Color911 has made it all so much easier I had no idea I even needed this, now I can’t imagine planning any event without it!

Using the Color911 App to find colors that inspire you

The first thing I did with Color911 was find colors that I really loved, that inspired me. I assumed I would have my wedding mostly in whites with some creams, pinks, etc. but the more I saw what other people are doing I realized how boring my color choices were. So I went right to the app for inspiration. I could have created the colors myself from a color wheel but the app has many pre-made colors themes; I found one that I loved. I pulled colors from the theme that I wanted to use and created my own palette for my whole event. I took notes so I remembered all of the ideas I had for my colors. Here’s the best part!!.. I was able to share it with everyone from the caterer – for table linen colors, to florist for flowers to go with my color palette, to the person printing my invitations. I shared all my colors with my bridesmaids and my mother who wants to match her colors and the guys ties to be a part of the color scheme, matching the rest of the bridal party. How cool is it that it will all match perfectly!

After I emailed it to everyone I told you about I shared in on Facebook with my friends. I am so excited.. my wedding with be so beautiful, everything will look so great together.!! So psyched! I know I will use the app for so many things afterward, matching clothes.. getting my home colors to match, it really is a great tool. I hope this is helpful for everyone planning his or her events.
