The Color Coach of Palm Desert Team

Diane Achman After more than 30 years working for Fortune 25 companies, Diane decided it was time to pursue a career that combines her enthusiasm and education in home decorating, design, and working with fabric with her corporate experience in customer service.  “Putting a smile on the face of our clients by finding the perfect colors to enhance and update their home or business has been extremely rewarding”.    Diane’s eye for color and ability to choose rich, well-designed color palettes that flow and bring together the style, furnishings and warmth of each client’s home has led to the success of expanding The Color Coach to the Coachella Valley. She enjoys working directly with a client, or collaborating with other design and construction professionals in a creative way that adds to the overall value of a project.  Clients report that they appreciate her attention to detail, her concern for high quality service, and her ability to listen and address their needs in a creative way, achieving results that exceed their expectations.  Diane has been with The Color Coach since 2008, and was personally trained by Paula DeMars, founder of The Color Coach.  She is a woman of insight and talent who, besides being an excellent colorist, is great at listening to people and transforming their homes to just what they want.

Dana Hilton Serving Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley as The Color Coach, Dana Hilton began with a designer career at Nordstrom.  What does designer apparel, Nordstrom and The Color Coach have in common?  Whether advising her clients on their most flattering fashion options or on achieving the perfect palette for impeccable home design, it’s all about color.  With over 15 award-winning years of experience in color, merchandising and fashion design, Dana’s exemplary customer service and expertise has resulted in a loyal following.  Dana has professional training in the use of color working directly with American and European designers and was personally trained by Paula DeMars, founder of The Color Coach. It is Dana’s belief that “color extends to every aspect of your life.  Color is exciting and that is why we love it.  It is my job to find exactly the right paint colors for your home.”   She now provides her expertise and knowledge to home-owners and businesses throughout the Coachella Valley. Dana believes that creating environments that are calming, harmonious and appealing through the use of paint color is an integral and primary point of design.  Dana says “color is more than just knowing undertones, it’s getting to know your client and what’s right for them.  The end result - knowing that my customer’s home looks fabulous and that they are entirely satisfied.  Remember, the world is not black and white… it is color that defines you and your home!"
