Client perspectives.
“Color Folio is one of our most cherished collaborators. Their intelligent and sensitive use of color has enhanced much of our work, coaxing out fine moments in the architecture that elevates it beyond expectation. They understand buildings and spaces and how they are affected by context, and are masters at designing color palettes that engage all of these contributors in harmonious conversation. Their value to our practice is not only their expertise in scientific color theory, but also their technical skills formulating custom colors and creating specifications and application methods for custom wood finishes. Wholly professional, the Color Folio is always a pleasure to work with; we always look forward to having them on our design team.”
— Kerstin Fischer, Fischer Architecture

“Making mistakes with paint colors can be a costly and time-consuming affair. I’ve done it plenty of times, but in my new house I wanted to get it right the first time. Color Folio Design was recommended to me, and was that a lucky break. The talented and inspired designers I worked with got all the colors just exactly right, for the entire interior and exterior. It’s been such a joy to live in these rooms, and the exterior attracts a lot of admiring stares. Best decision I ever made. I could not recommend Color Folio Design more highly.”
— Annette Nibley, Homeowner
“Color Folio Design has been a very important part of my professional Interior Design work over the years. They have been a pleasure to work with. Nothing is ever out of reach for them. They thrive on a challenge and always pull through with creative vision.
They created the most beautiful custom exterior color for our Victorian home called "Buckingham Midnight Blue”. It is constantly admired, often photographed and most definitely started a trend.”
— Rossi Scott, Interior Designer, Homeowner
“I highly recommend Color Folio Design for color consultation, stain matching, shop painting and stain grade finishing. As a professional custom cabinetmaker and millworker for the past 40 years, I have had the pleasure to work closely with Color Folio Design over the course of my career. Tim Caton and Sharon Stanbridge have always allied themselves with quality associates and collaborators, both in the design industry and building trades. Tim’s color sense and sophisticated eye are evident on every project I have seen that he’s been involved in, including my former and current home. The finishing shop, led by Greg Galpin, produces work of the highest quality and I always turn to them for my most challenging stain grade millwork projects.”
— Anthony Fenner, Millwork Project Manager, MN Builders
“Since 1980 Color Folio Design has created unique color palettes and wood treatments for my house, studio and garden. For a one-room cottage they designed a natural stone floor with luminous quartzite counter and backsplash. They modified existing furniture by adding wood to metal and custom-made a walnut and Caesarstone desk. CFD envisions, dissects, and problem-solves big picture concepts down to the smallest detail to create beautiful, unified living spaces that deeply respond to their clients’ tastes and needs.”
