Are colour matches exact?Updated 10 months ago

We pride ourselves on being able to offer one of the best colour-matching services you’ll find in the UK, both online and near you in one of our stores. We can tint paint in any finish, in almost any colour. 

All colour-matched paint is a close equivalent, it's not exact which is why we always recommend buying a paint sample in your chosen colour match first, before ordering a full tin to ensure you're happy with the shade match. 

If in the unfortunate event that you're not happy with your colour-matched paint, as it is mixed to order, it is not eligible for an exchange or refund. For more information on returns and exchanges, please read our full returns policy here

For a true representation of the colour, we would recommend applying at least two coats. Please ensure you stir the paint to mix the colour and apply this to piece of card or paper and allow this to fully dry. 

Please contact us with images of the label on the tin, the brushed out and dried paint, as well as an image of the paint in the tin if you have any concerns and we will be happy to investigate.
