What many people forget is the type of paint used can make a huge difference.... Make sure if you want a Dulux colour but are using a Wattyl paint, that the shop uses a Wattyl colour book... It's no good using the Dulux codes in a Wattyl paint... It'll be different every time... Sheen level also makes a big difference... Most of the sample pots are flat paints, or very low sheen... And yet most people will purchase low sheen as the final product... Try looking at the same colour in flat to gloss... The relfected light of the gloss finish can change the colour significantly! And check the paint before the lid is put on... Check the printed label... At least if you have the printed label you'll know next time what to ask for! Finally, when tipping your paint into a tray, pour away from the label! Electrical Engineer... Don't hold that against me... And keen owner builder... Mainly the building part!! Re: Bunnings sold me the wrong colour paint grrrrrrr! 20Mar 24, 2009 7:13 pm No i cannot speak for every store but as in life there are always places that have lower standards of service etc. For an interesting perspective on colour variations i was talking with a Dulux rep today about some eoples concerns on this forum. The rep proceeded to tell me about a test Dulux conducted a few years ago where they went to 50 sperate Dulux trade centres and got a 4lt can of 101 W&W all in the same colour and took them all back to the lab. They then did a brush out of each can purchased and placed them on a large wall. To their own suprise not one brush out was the same as another from any of their own outlets. Upon further nvestigation they discovered that due to each dispensers wear and tear, combined with how often they were serviced led to all the variations that they experienced. So that alone will explain and help people understand why not all paint samples match their colour chips. If i can be of any help for people chasing up manufactures colours i am more then willing to help just pm me and i will endure to find out anything i can for you in my available time.
