Help with choosing paint colors

Is picking out a paint color puzzling? Do you get confused when one company has similar colors to another?

Here is a website that can help you: www.colorcharts.org

If you have fallen in love with a paint color in a magazine but don't have that particular paint company store near you, just simply select that brand and color name and you will get the nearest match to the competitor brand.

You can compare one paint company's "desert blue" with another "sea glass". Get the paint color you want from your paint store. It tells you by percentage the closest match. Really cool!

www.colorcharts.org is really fun to play with.
