PEEL & STICK SAMPLES

These samples—which you can buy online or in store—are easy to apply and remove, adhering to everything from walls to cabinets and woodwork, without affecting existing paint on the surface. Place them on your wall to watch how the appearance of the color changes throughout the day and with different lighting exposures. The Peel & Stick Samples are made from a low VOC water-based coating, with real paint, in our most popular colors – ensuring the very best color accuracy!

COLOR TO GO®

Color to Go® are quart-sized paint samples that are perfect for testing color on a larger scale. These can be purchased in store so you can grab a brush or roller, paint the area you’d like to test and let it dry!

EXPERT ADVICE FROM SUE

Don’t be afraid to use more than one sample tool to narrow down your choices. For example, start with 10 color chips in a few different shades that you like. From there, find your favorites, and order larger Peel & Stick Samples to compare over a few days. Still undecided? Grab a can of a Color to Go. This can help you feel super confident in the color choice because you have done so much preliminary evaluating.

Also, on the back of each chip you will see a Light Reflectance Value, or LRV. This number refers to how light or dark a paint color will look on a scale of 0 to 100. The higher the LRV number is, the lighter the color is and the lower the LRV number is, the darker the color is.

If you have a darker room, a color with a higher number will be a good choice to reflect light. If you have a bright room, and want to create a cozier space, choose a color with a lower number. The color cannot add light to a room, it can only reflect what is already there.
