Colour consultation for paint -- any recommendations?

I notice that lots of paint companies (F&B, Little Green, etc) have colour consultations has anyone done this and found it worth it? And more importantly has anyone ever used an interiors person who is company agnostic (i.e. might suggest Dulux and F&B and Little Green) rather than brand specific?

Our new house needs the interiors painted and I'm finding selecting the colours tricky. For one thing, the house has a few stained glass windows, which means in some rooms there is exclusively dim natural light filtered through coloured glass.

I'd rather have someone who is an expert than make a guess and find, six months or a year from now, that the colour doesn't suit, or I regret doing the easiest choice (all white everwhere!).

Where are you based? I’m working with a colour consultant in London, she’s very good and has pushed me slightly out of my comfort zone (in a good way). I can PM you her details.

@MsFogi @manateeandcake @modernrubbish

Glad I’m not the only one who needs this sort of help! Here are her details www.paintbox.co.uk/about

She seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of paint colours, and she is reasonably priced too. Also offered good advice on lighting and tiling. Not sure if she does virtual meetings.

Thanks @Yellownotblue! I’ve lived with almost all white walls for 10 years so definitely feel I need a bit of help with taking the plunge into colour.
