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.

  • 2” x 3” Color Chip: Available for free in-store, these small samples are ideal for narrowing down your color family before committing to a larger sample.

  • 8” x 8” Peel-and-Stick Swatches: These reusable, movable swatches let you test colors on multiple walls and under varying lighting conditions. They’re an easy, mess-free way to visualize your chosen paint color.

  • 8 oz. Paint Samples: Color to Go® paint samples are great for giving you an idea of how a color looks and feels in your space throughout the day. Each sample comes in a quart-sized container that holds enough paint for creating test swatches so you can choose your final color with confidence.

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.
