Lowes also offers Rust-Oleum, which is a great choice for exterior surfaces. Some Valspar paints are a bit cheaper than Sherwin Williams, but they still give high-quality results.

Find out which brand will work best for your project. 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. * 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!

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. ![]()
