Why Accurate Paint Testing Is Best For A Professional Paint Look

Paint chips serve as a representation of a particular paint shade or color, allowing homeowners to visualize how the paint might look on their walls before making a purchase. Paint chips are typically available in the form of cards or strips, featuring multiple shades of a particular color or a range of different colors. They are great for narrowing down your paint color choices.

Paint Swatches are painted with the paint of the manufacturer.  They can be prepainted or painted by the user.  The ones that you paint can be customized by brand, sheen, and color.  Paint swatches are generally designed for easy removability, featuring an adhesive backing.

There are several issues that affect the accuracy of a paint chip.  But using a paint swatch will fix the accuracy dilemma.

Paint chips do not use real paint: a paint chip is a printed representation of a paint color.  They are small and do not allow for easy visualization when picking paint color. Paint swatches use paint and are larger in size.

Always apply two coats of paint: Don’t skimp corners when testing paint colors.  One coat of paint does not provide the richness or depth of color.  For accuracy always apply two coats of paint when testing.

Test on multiple walls: A paint color looks different on each wall based on lighting and windows.  By using a stick on sample you can view your paint color on multiple walls without creating a patchwork of colors directly on the wall

Lighting conditions: The lighting under which a chip is viewed can greatly impact its appearance. Different lighting environments can distort the color perception and make it challenging to gauge how the paint will look in a specific room.

Surrounding colors: The color of the wall or the presence of other elements in the room can influence the perceived color of the chip. The surrounding colors may create contrasts or reflections that alter the visual impression.
