The app also allows you to click on a certain color to match, and the palette will include a selection of complementary colors. The great thing about the app’s color-match feature is that it will automatically pick out the colors in the photo that it can match and create a palette with those colors. With Sherwin-Williams’s Color Snap, you can create color palettes and match colors to a photo on your phone. The brightness and resolution of your screen can make the color’s appearance vary from digital to physical. This is fairly universal with digital paint samples. ![]() Many users noted that the colors look much different on the screen than they do in person. Why not let your social media followers help you decide between two colors? Color Capture and Paint My Place were once tied as the highest-rated (four stars) of all the room painting apps we compared in iTunes.Īs you are scanning through the various Benjamin Moore colors, you can save, e-mail, post to Facebook, or tweet out the color you find. * Sometimes ya gotta "Know when to fold-'em".The app will match the colors in any photo and also show the next four closest shades. These kinda tones have to made into the native brand. * I don't even ATTEMPT real vivid colors! It NEVER works. More colorants available to build some of their more COMPLEX colors. * If I know a color is AURA, the only line I'll match it into is C2. * Have I ever had a color be exact after a scan? Maybe 10% of the time.and I'm FUSSY!! Everyones' "Good enough" threshold is wildly different. You can save favorite paint colors in the. * I'm pretty damn good at it by now, but not perfect.OPTICALLY-there is no such thing as perfect.

Good scanners nowadays are from several $$Hundred, to a few $$thousand, plus yearly maintenance contracts. * They do have to be recalibrated yearly by the Mfr. * I usually compare MY scan to the "Library" scans, and adjust by backing-off some on the stronger colorants. * There's NO WAY to know how good a "match" is until it's literally made. All these are.are scans of fandecks adapted to each companies colorant & tintbase versions. * I've been at it for a decade now.and we've got a damn good scanner! And the "color-library competitor-fandeck" matches. I could go on for 3 pages here of color-matching "foibles & follies"!!!!

I didn't have enough from the when I'd originally painted so I went back to get more. Their room was painted Valspar Silverware. The 2nd time was when we remodeled the upstairs and I had to paint a new wall in our boys bedroom. Turns out they'd 'updated' their pigments to make them clearer and brighter.Īctually, come to think of it, that's happened TWICE w/ them. Took it back and almost got thrown out of Lowes. Got it home and it was much more yellow on the wall than the original. ![]() I've also had them mix the same Valspar color that I'd used a few years prior. They mixed the 2nd gallon in a different base color. ![]() The color was darker than what they'd they originally mixed for me in the 1st gallon. He brought it home, I started painting and was immediately horrified. Sent DH w/ the lid that had the paint formula on it that THEY matched and mixed themselves. 2 SW dealers mentioned this to me when I've asked for BM Simply White to be mixed in a CTG Sample.Īs far as Lowes: One time I needed more paint of a great color match that they did for me. Not all formulations can be 'cut down' exactly enough to appropriately give the accurate color. Let me just say this about having having samples mixed. Unfortunately I think that the term 'Color Matched' is used too loosely. 'Color Matched' and having paint mixed at a different dealer using the same color formulation as another brand are 2 different things. ![]()
