A good deal!
The color consultant was most helpful for us. She had many books with her to compare colors, but once inside she had a very good idea of what would work for us and also gave us a lot of decorating tips. She also suggested painting the master BR tray ceiling. The ceiling to be the same (fairly light) color as the bedroom and the tray part the same color but lighter shade. Looks great. We never would have thought of that.
So in the end, $45. for that color consultant service was definitely money well spent!

Thank you, HiHoSteveO,
I have picked out a lot of paint colors, but it takes me a long time sometimes and I have had a few do-overs. This does sound like money well spent.
(I think a tray ceiling is a nice design feature. I don't have a tray ceiling, but I have seen them painted in the way you describe and it looks really good. A painted tray ceiling can pull the whole room together and can look downright elegant.)
