Bates Painting in Kansas City offers custom color consultation for both residential and commercial paint projects, inside and out. Our team of artists are here to help you find the ideal color shade, hue, and tone to elevate any wall or surface in your space.
The color in your home or business sets the tone for not only you, but also guests who also enter your space. Selecting the right color can be a tricky process as there are a variety of tones, hues, and shades to choose from. This is where Bates Painting in Kansas City comes in to help make this process much easier for you.
Whether you’re a Mission Hills homeowner looking to refresh the exterior look of your home or an Overland Park business owner ready to take your office space to the next level, allow Doug Bates and his team of artists to bring your vision to life with a custom color consultation.
When you work with Doug for a color consultation for your next painting project, you will also experience more than a simple paint selection, you’ll also experience:
Doug has been turning Kansas City homes and businesses into jewels of the neighborhood since 1979. His dedicated experience in his craft is evident through each painting project, which results in not only beauty but also durability.
Understanding the small color differences, like what separates a blue-toned red from an orange-toned red, is where Doug’s extensive knowledge of color theory shines. Color theory can make all the difference in ensuring your home or office’s colors are in complete harmony, enhancing your space’s architecture and further reflecting your personal style and business aesthetic.
Doug approaches each painting project differently, as each one comes with its own unique set of goals and visions. During the color consultation process, Doug collaborates closely with each Kansas City home or business owner to create a custom color palette that brings your artistic vision to life. Whether you want a cozy, cottage look to your home with warm tones or a bright toned modern office building, he will design a color plan to elevate any space.
At Bates Painting, we offer a complete suite of services to ensure every painting project is handled with care, intent, and precision. Here are some of those services you can expect in a custom color consultation with us:
When wanting to make any dream a reality, it begins with a conversation and that is where Doug personally meets with you to understand your vision, style, and the feeling you want your space to evoke. Whether you have a specific color in mind or just a general direction, Doug listens with intention and offers insights shaped by decades of artistic expertise.
Doug doesn’t simply recommend colors, he goes one step further by interpreting your ideas and enhances them using color theory, architectural context, light dynamics, and neighborhood aesthetic. Clients often say he turns “meh” into “magnificent” by knowing the exact shade, trim contrast, or finish that will make your home stand out with taste and class.
Recognizing that 1-inch swatches rarely tell the full story, Doug prepares large-scale samples (sometimes 20 to 30 options) applied directly to your home. This allows you to visualize how colors truly behave in natural light, on your actual surface, and within your environment.
Choosing between two nearly identical grays? Doug can tell which one will give your home dimension and which one will fall flat. His trained eye sees subtleties others miss, and this insight consistently turns ordinary projects into neighborhood standouts.
Most clients, especially those familiar with Doug’s reputation, quickly come to trust his judgment. In fact, over 80% end up deferring to his final recommendation and they’re thrilled with the results.
We start with an in person color consultation to understand your goals and challenges. We encourage our clients to bring in inspiration pictures, mood boards, and even words to describe what type of look and feel they are wanting with their space.
Upon review of the size of your space and the color(s) selected, we will tailor the plan for your paint project and share with you the price based on your needs and goals.
Now the fun begins! Our team of artists begin implementing your vision into your home or business ensuring that your project is completed on time to the full degree. During each painting project you will be kept informed as to where we are in the painting process and what’s to come.
Once completed, you have the opportunity to review your project and ensure it is up to your standard. At Bates Painting, we stand behind our work and ensure you’re 100% satisfied.

“Doug and his crew were amazing! He was very attentive and came out every time we had a question or needed his opinion. He helped us match the colors of our inspiration house and never made us feel like we were being a pain when we were indecisive. His team was there every day on time, friendly and very courteous, often checking in to make sure everything was going well. At the end they made sure we did a thorough walk around to be sure everything was as we wanted it to be - twice. I think they were at our house every day for nearly a month but it didn't feel like a month. They are a joy to work with and I'm currently trying to find more things for them to paint!"

A typical color consultation can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how big of a space is needing to be reimagined and if designs are needed too. Doug exclusively performs color consultations for clients to help them choose their color options and sample them on the walls, ceiling, or trim for a better visual idea of the final product.
