Amy Wax (Color Consultant)

Amy works with architects; designers, builders and homeowners to select the colors for paints and other products that help their projects stand out. Fifteen years ago, she created Your Color Source Studios Inc., a firm that specializes in selecting colors for residential and commercial architectural use. A list of the company’s many projects include aiding in the development of color palettes for a Fortune 500 company, color and product selection for two projects that received Gold LEED status from the U.S. Government’s Green Building Council, and the creation of color palettes for numerous residential and commercial buildings.

Amy created the Color 911 app and blog to help people add color to their lives—whether someone is selecting colors for their home or business, or selecting colors for fashion, graphic design or another artistic use. The app shows how color enriches our lives, and it turns what is a difficult process for some into something that is truly satisfying and fun. Just a few of the accolades it has received have been being named a “Product of the Year” by This Old House Magazine, a “Can’t-Live-Without” app by Architectural Digest and a “Must-Have Resource” by Lonny Magazine. 

Amy is the author of Can’t Fail Color Schemes, a national bestseller on interior and exterior color ideas for the home. Published by Creative Homeowner, Can’t Fail Color Schemes was named Book of the Year by both Foreword and the Independent Publishers Association. It was also a Next Generation and Best Book Award finalist. After the success of her first book, Amy wrote Can’t Fail Color Schemes: Kitchens and Baths.
