Custom Colored Paint
Basic Description Paint matching services are becoming more and more common at paint stores and home centers worldwide. With this technology, a sample color is scanned into a computer which allows the clerk to mix a can of paint that matches the sample. The quality of the matching is remarkable. Designers have been using this technique for years as a means of coordinating elements of a room, for example matching the color of the drapes to the color of the walls etc. In this free plan, we will show you how to take this even further to create beautiful and meaningful colors for your home and other projects.

Design Considerations


photography tips

While some samples can be used directly (a swatch of fabric or a rose petal), most others cannot. In these cases you will have to rely on photography. Colors vary in different light conditions so to get an accurate depiction, try taking several photos in various light conditions and then choosing the one that most satisfies you. Cut out the color in question and have it matched!
