To understand and appreciate "Color Splash," viewers need a little prior viewing experience with HGTV. Specifically, they need conversational knowledge of "HGTV Design Star," the network's "reality competition," which promises the winner his or her own show. Making good on that promise, HGTV hooked-up champion David Bromstad with everything he needed for his break-out show "Color Splash." Like HGTV headliners Vern Yin, Genevieve Gorder, and Candice Olsen, Bromstad demonstrates how charisma influences quality design, inspiring critics to use the word "vibrant" in descriptions of both the host and his rooms. Bromstad's aesthetic develops from one frighteningly simple principle: "Color is the root of great design." In the midst of economic recession, color probably doubles as the least expensive way to bring about an extreme home makeover. Working with ordinary if somewhat design-challenged homeowners, Bromstad "transforms tired rooms into vibrant, unforgettable spaces." Carpenter extraordinaire Danielle Hirsh co-hosts "Color Splash," complementing Bromstad's skill-set and adding the essential woman's touch to his concepts. Together, Bromstad and Hirsch show hapless homeowners how to draw all the drama and dazzle from carefully chosen tints and hues.
