Bringing Color to Life: Shane Airey, In-Home Color Advisor at Dunn-Edwards Paints

With an ever-growing variety of paint colors and design possibilities, choosing the perfect hue can be a challenging task. That’s where Shane Airey comes in. As an In-Home Color Advisor with Dunn-Edwards, Shane brings expertise, creativity, and a personalized touch to every color consultation.

Shane’s journey into the world of design began at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California, where he earned an Associate’s Degree in Interior Design and Kitchen & Bath Design. It was here that his connection with Dunn-Edwards was first established, eventually leading him to join the company as an In-Store Professional Color Advisor in December 2019.

In April 2025, Shane was promoted to In-Home Color Advisor—a role that allows him to create a more immersive and tailored experience for clients. By stepping into a client’s home, Shane can see the space in its natural light, understand the environment, and craft color solutions that are uniquely suited to the homeowner’s style and needs.

Shane’s greatest strength lies in his confidence. Backed by a strong foundation in design, extensive product knowledge, and a natural flair for aesthetics, he approaches every consultation with enthusiasm and professionalism. He understands that customer satisfaction is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, he listens carefully, adapts to each client’s vision, and tailors his approach to meet their unique goals. In Shane’s words, “It’s all about the vibes.”

One of Shane’s most memorable consultations involved working with a client who had difficulty perceiving color saturation and chroma. Through thoughtful questions and clear communication, Shane guided the client toward the ideal color choice—demonstrating his ability to meet people where they are and solve challenges with creativity and care.
