Why Paint Sampling is Key to Finding Your Perfect Color
Choosing the right paint color can be a tricky process, especially when you consider how different lighting and surfaces can dramatically alter how a shade looks. That’s why sampling your paint before committing is so important! Even the most beautiful colors can surprise you once they’re on the wall.
Here’s why sampling matters:
Lighting Conditions: Natural light changes throughout the day, and artificial lighting can have warm or cool tones that affect how your paint looks.
Surface Textures: Paint can appear lighter or darker depending on whether it’s on a smooth wall, textured ceiling, or cabinetry.
Real-Life Scale: Small color swatches can’t always convey how a color will look across a larger surface area.
Interior Design Tip
With tricky colors, we paint a 3” x 3” sample on the wall. This allows us to see how the color interacts with the home’s unique lighting, which plays the biggest role in achieving the right look
Sherwin-Williams Paint Sampling
Sherwin-Williams offers convenient paint sampling options to help you find the perfect color for your space.

Pro Tips: How to Choose the Right Paint For Your Space
Assess Lighting
Natural light, artificial light, and even the type of bulbs you use can affect how a paint color appears. Evaluate samples under the same lighting your space will have once the project is complete to get a true idea of how the color will look in your space.
Consider Functionality
For high-traffic areas, choose paint finishes that are easy to clean and resistant to wear. Sherwin-Williams oil/alkyd-based paints are an excellent choice for trim in high-traffic rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Think Long-Term
For rooms you will likely not update frequently, choose timeless paint colors that will continue to look fresh and relevant over time.
