Have you ever tried to touch up a wall, only to realize that your new paint doesn’t quite match the original color? That’s where color-matching technology comes in. It’s a game-changer for homeowners who want their paint to look seamless, whether they’re doing small touch-ups or repainting an entire space.
Here’s how it works and why it’s such a valuable tool.
Color-matching devices are designed to scan the color of a surface and identify the closest corresponding paint formula. These tools measure the precise hue, value, and chroma of the color, then translate that data into a paint code that can be used at professional paint centers like Sherwin-Williams or Home Depot.
This means you can bring in a sample—a piece of wall paint, trim, or even furniture—and the paint expert can create a custom mix that closely replicates the original color.
Technology has come a long way, and now there are even Bluetooth color scanners available. These handheld devices allow you to scan a surface directly in your home, and send that data to your phone or tablet. It’s a convenient option if you can’t remove a sample or bring it to the store.
While Bluetooth scanners are helpful, they aren’t always as precise as the professional-grade devices used in paint stores. For the most accurate match, it’s best if a pro takes a sample of the area and brings it into a local paint center for full analysis.
Color matching is especially useful when:
