For a Benjamin Moore color, just email us the chip name and number. There's no need to send anything. For Sherwin-Williams or any other manufacturer's chip, or a hand-painted sample for a historic color, email us first and we'll send you our mailing address.

Some colors can't be made with pigments that last outdoors. If yours is one of them, we'll say so up front, before you spend anything. Once it's matched, we confirm by email with photos and a spectrophotometer reading. Most customers approve that way and we go straight to production.

$300 per color.

Physical samples are optional, for projects that need sign-off from several people or firms. A wet sample is a quart, billed at the standard quart price on top of the match fee. A dry chip comes from a cured drawdown. Both add time, and we only send a sample once we're confident in the match.

Every batch is mixed and tinted by hand, so a reorder is a new match to your original color, and it takes time to make. Order enough for the whole job up front. If you do need more, reorders are $100 per color, or $50 on orders of 2+ gallons.

We can't match every color. Some beautiful pigments fall apart outside, and we won't use them.
