Color Guides
Start with the real job in front of you: identify a color from a photo, pull exact codes, or match an existing wall paint before you buy.
Choose a clean, representative part of the wall, trim, cabinet, or door. Scan it in even light and avoid direct sun, reflections, dirty areas, and heavy shadows.
If the surface varies, scan several spots and save the strongest results so you can compare them before buying a sample.
Without a physical chip, the goal is to find the closest available paint options, not to recover an unknown historical formula perfectly. The app ranks nearby paint matches so you have specific names and codes to investigate.
That is more useful than walking into a store with only a memory or a generic color family.
Touch-ups are unforgiving because new paint sits next to aged paint. Even a close match can show if the finish, sheen, or room light differs.
Use the app result to choose a sample, paint a small test area, let it dry, and judge it in the same room light before committing.
Yes. You can scan the wall or use a clear photo to find nearby paint matches without cutting out a paint chip.
A photo can be enough to create a shortlist, especially if it is sharp and evenly lit. For exact touch-ups, test a physical paint sample before painting a visible area.
Scan several clean spots on the same wall. Save the results and look for consistent matches before deciding which paint candidate to test.
