My neighbor, a retired art teacher, told me to pick my main color last

I tried it on a website header and it made choosing the supporting shades so much faster. Has anyone else tried flipping the usual order like that?

Wait, you pick the main color LAST?

Oh man that's exactly what I did with my living room and it saved me from painting the whole thing wrong!

Seriously, yeah. I always pick the accent colors first, like the trim or a cabinet color. Then I find a main wall color that actually works with them. Doing it the other way around always feels like I'm forcing the accents to match.
