Colour matching & colour names 13Aug 24, 2008 10:10 pm If you spot a colour you want in any brand of paint, get the name, code, number or cataloge the colour is in and give all the details to your painter.
As an example why ..... Dulux have a Master Pallet of their colours. Every now & then they will release a colour "range" EG Directions in White cataloge. If you compare the same named swatches in the Master Pallet to the Directions In White cataloge there can be quite a differance. So, make sure you get as many details about your choosen colour as you can!! And sometimes you may find that a company can not reproduce the colour of another company. Different companies use different base colours and different brands of tinter. So the tinting code from one company will transpose dirrectly to another companies. Colours that can be hard to match from an opposition company can be metallics, powder coat and special effect colours. Timbacare - Save Your Furniture!
