Samplize decals vs Sherwin Williams decals

[Anonymous]

How accurate do you think the samplize decals are? I believe they are painted on whereas SW’s is just printed screen color.

They’re accurate but pretty small. I used them and didn’t really get a great sense of what it would actually look like. Better than the chip card, for sure, but not as good as painting a real swatch. Just my two cents.

I don't know.

I just buy a small amount of paint from SW or Lowe's (they have different finishes for their sample size) and paint several places on the walls in the room I'm intending to paint. Best way to pick up undertones and how well it looks in daylight and at night.

You could also buy the paint sample(s) and large art project paper, paint it and place in in different locations along the walls in your room.

If I were doing either I would buy a couple in the same color to make sure the color works well in the room with furnishing and location.

We just painted inside our house with SW. We got the sticker samples and they were accurate.

Thanks

Thanks. This is a good idea. I tried a sample pot from Lowes but it didn’t seem as accurate. It was a white and I was painting it over a white so that could’ve been an issue.

Thanks. I tried this but it wasn’t as accurate.

We painted a few rooms so had some different colors: snowbound as our basic white, accessible beige for most of the living and dining room, and retreat for one wall. They all were good although I think we could have gone a little darker with the accessible beige walls to provide more contrast with snowbound. Good luck with your project.

I did accessible beige in my north facing kitchen with alabaster ceiling and snowbound on the trim and doors. I get a pretty good contrast but I have dark cabinets, floors in a north facing room w lots of windows/doors.

Balanced beige is supposed to be a deeper color from accessible beige and aesthetic white or city loft a lighter shade.

SW is not offering sample pots anymore due to materials shortages…and hasn’t been for almost a year according to our local stores (NoVA). I called two.

Correct! I have tried Lowes but I’m just not 100% sure that the color matching is perfect.
