[quote=Anonymous]What you have to do is take a sample of it to the paint store. They’ll use a machine to get a match. The color match will be pretty exact, but if you don’t know what the paint base was, whatever you buy may be a hair different (like a little shinier or a little less). You can mitigate that by painting “corner to corner.” Paint all the way to the end of a wall, because your eye won’t notice the subtle difference in the paint across a corner. It will still be easier than covering with a new color. To get the sample, find something you can remove (like a cabinet door) or just use a utility knife to cut some off. You only need a piece about the size of a quarter. [/quote]
