Yes, you can colour-match paint online. In fact, it's our most popular online service, and it couldn't be easier. Just choose your paint and enter the colour name and the brand into the colour selector before adding it to your basket. We'll do the rest! Â
No, colour-matching is never exactly the same as the original shade. Colour-matches are very close equivalents and in most cases, are so close that you can't tell the difference. But there will always be a shade variation to some degree, no matter how small.
We recommend ordering a sample pot and painting a small amount of your colour-matched paint directly onto the shade card swatch you are matching it to. Allow it to dry fully and compare the match from there, bearing in mind that it will never be exact, but it should be very close.Â
If the final result isn't looking as you expected, don't hesitate to get in touch, and our team will be happy to help.
