Dear D@n,

I have be playing with Photoshop and I am wondering how you get the exact paint colours that people ask you for? Is there a list that you get them from?
eg. Dulux- Columbia
how do you match that from the colour chart in Photoshop???
Thanks d@n.

Just copy and paste the swatch into photoshop. One person gave me RGB values which saves a lot of time.

I have a dulux colour chart which took a while to put together cos the Dulux site is pathetic. The other paint companies are a struggle also.
