About Me

I am Ellen Rhett, owner of Color Calling, a color consulting firm in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

  I am Alabama’s only Maria Killam Certified True Color Expert.

I am also a Residential Stylist. I am specifically trained in color flow, in the undertones of complex neutrals, and in creating focal points in your home.

After receiving an MBA from the Manderson Graduate School of Business at the University of Alabama, I became a stockbroker in Houston, Texas. After I said goodbye to ” The Dow,” I returned to my Alabama roots with my husband, and we have been raising our  children in the little Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook ever since.

I have discovered that what I really love doing the most is anything to do with making a home your favorite place to be, and was drawn into starting my business, which is Color Calling.

Please follow me on my quest as I explore the many facets of residential color and style on this blog, with a smile and a dose of humor!

“The right white, the right color, the right neutral for any room.”

Pro tip: I am happy to meet you at your stone yard if you need professional assistance selecting marble or granite for your kitchen or bath. No contract necessary, my hourly rates apply. We can select your paint colors at the stone yard as well! This is a great option for homeowners who are on a tight budget; I can help you avoid an expensive mistake.
