Dick’s Color Center

I love this place to death. Zipped over on my lunch break and they were extremely helpful and pleasant. The store’s beautifully laid out too and super-​easy to navigate. This place drinks Ace Hardware’s milkshake.

This is such a cozy, comfortable little store – it’s more an experience than a shop. If you are feeling indecisive (and who isn’t, at a paint store?) you can sit down at a table and really take your time, comparing paint chips to items you brought with you (yes, bring items with you, so that you can can really imagine your house!). What luxury.
Also, for $ 1.00, you can buy a large-​ish sample card to take home, and when you come back to buy your real paint, every $ 1.00 will be credited towards the purchase. Awesome.
Also great is the fact that, if you come at the right time, a paint consultant is available. Ours was incredibly patient and friendly, but didn’t come up with any color choices that blew our minds, so we ended up choosing a color that I found on the internet myself, and (I am loathe to admit this) got it mixed at a competitor, whose paint we know and love.

Heaven on earth. A family joint with great paint to boot. We are spoiled for options here in the southeast!
The previous owners were challenging at best but under new ownership the vision is realized!

I have been to this store several times now and I always walk away happy. I love the free color consultation available. It’s great to have an expert opinion! My questions are answered in an honest, informative manner and they have made more than one money saving suggestion. I couldn’t ask for more in my local paint store!

This place is paint nirvana. They are an exclusive Benjamin Moore shop, so they have top quality product. I realize painting is not really a man or a woman thing; it is a unisex activity in its own right, but this shop is set up so beautifully that I just feel like they had women in mind when they created it.
Walking in the front door, this is not your typical utilitarian paint shop. It feels much more like an interior design center, complete with collaboration tables where you can sit down and peruse books of much larger sample sheets. You are not restricted to the tiny 1×2 sample chips here, though they do have them as well. They also have on-​site color consultants (Monday through Saturday 11 — 3) who are happy to direct you toward color palates and even more sample books. Plus, they have over 3000 small jars of samples that you can purchase and bring home to try on the wall. No more purchasing a quart here and a quart there to determine which color you want.
I bought their «Affinity» fan deck, a paint sample deck of muted tones that all go so well together that you could basically blindly and randomly select multiple colors in the deck and they would all manage to somehow work together. Screw-​up free color selection. I like it!

Let me start out by saying that I LOVE Benjamin Moore paint. I am an architect and I think they have the most beautiful, comprehensive color palate available in paint. I think Benjamin Moore paint is the best quality you could put on your walls and they offer more low and no VOC paint then any other paint manufacturer out there. So, with all that said I am extremely disappointed in this «flagship» store. The two men working there are not pleasant, they try to be but it comes off as very fake and insincere. I have spent a few thousand dollars on paint at this store and the single time I had an issue with their paint mixing they gave me a very hard time about it and made me feel stupid as if it was my fault their color didn’t match the color I needed. The main guy, don’t know if he’s the owner, has no people skills and gets a little too emotional to be in sales. They offer no discounts to people in the trade other than contractors which seems crazy since as an architect I am the person responsible for specifying Benjamin Moore and encouraging my clients to insist their contractors actually use this paint. In other words, the contractor buys the paint because the architect and designer request it. But this clearly has not occurred to the people running this store.
I do not plan on returning to Kaleidoscope for my future painting needs, there are other stores that carry BM paint and from my experience care much more for their customers.
