Co-founders Florence Jones and Susan Brackna Mintz have launched Americaʼs Color Consultants, the first color consulting franchise in the United States. The home-based business, helps people select fresh paint colors for their homes with in-home consultations.

Unlike interior designers, the color consultants work with the client to select paint colors that complement their current furnishings, accessories and lighting. Jones and Mintz started the business in Northern Virginia in 2007 as Arlington ColorConsultants. Based in Falls Church, franchises are now available in Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C, and California.
