Unfortunately, a lot of people think they have a "trained eye" and that their GUESS is qualified to label colors according to undertones for the rest of us to follow.īut it's that arrogant subjective color opinion -that's only meaningful to the individual- that is responsible for all the confusion and chaos out there in blogosphere about paint colors. Because the theory of undertones as most people apply it is just somebody looking at a color under whatever random light source they happen to have and GUESSING about what they think they see. Of course I'm going to tell you to forget whatever you have in your head about "undertones" because it's a totally incorrect way to approach defining, describing and organizing color.Īnd "undertones" are especially useless in terms of comparing colors. I was hoping to get an expert opinion from someone who has a good eye for undertones and sees many different paint colors on a regular basis I wish you good luck on this and hope you are happy with your results. Here's a good article on why touch up matching is more than just about paint. Take care in how you store your leftover paint and test small areas when retouching if you have to get the formula again later on. SW is so good at paint matching and it's a formula. The tones you originally picked are light so that helps. There's no guarantee down the road that any color - standard or custom - will be a perfect match later on even if it's the standard colors SW uses. They have a really nice wall display of chips that make it kind of easy to get close range to your BM chip. Then, if you don't have something close enough you like from their standard chip, get SW to paint match. Make sure it's the right brightness and color in the first place. Either pick something with their help in person and so you can see if it's the right color overall, not just the undertones. Then, if it's just a situation you can't work around, then I'd go to the SW store and get their advice.
I challenge the premise that the painter can't use BM. You were confident enough to pick the BM color right? So why the sudden worry you'll blow it by walking into a SW store with the BM paint chip, eyeballing it and asking for help from the SW expert in person? SW so he was grumpy about not using SW, but I was paying for it! I had an entire house painted in the BM Affinity palette and my painter was Mr. Is this a new home contractor? If not, insist to the contractor you want to use the BM I have done so in the past. These are very different colors even if they satisfy your request to get something close.
