Everything you need to brush out a sample properly

Grab these with your pints at the counter — each one makes the color read truer on the board.

Easiest way

Foam Pro Color Tester Sample Kit

All-in-one kit with a mini sample roller, frame, tray and a white sample board — everything in one grab.

Roll two coats, let it cure, carry the board room to room.

Inexpensive natural-bristle brush for laying down two quick coats. Toss it when you're done.

Best when you're testing four or five colors at once.

Foam brush

Smooth, streak-free coverage with no brush marks to read around on the board.

Use it when sheen and undertone matter most.

Hold it up

Sample poster board

Finished side behaves like a primed wall so color and sheen read true.

Hold it on each wall and check it morning, afternoon and at night.

Call (561) 495-8900 or stop in and we'll set a kit aside with your sample pints.

How to sample

Use the poster board, not the wall

A sample painted on one wall is stuck in one light. A board moves with you.

Two coats on a finished board

We sell a sample poster board with a finished side that behaves like a primed wall. Brush two full coats of your sample pint on the finished side and let it cure so the color and sheen read true.

Walk it around the house

Hold the board on each wall, next to your flooring, cabinets, countertop and fabrics, and check it in morning, afternoon and lamp light. Color shifts noticeably in Florida light.

Narrow to two, then commit

Sample two or three candidates in the product and sheen you actually plan to buy, then bring the winner to our counter and we'll tint your gallons to match.

A few samples is the cheapest part of the job

Yes, buying several sample pints adds up. It's nothing compared to the cost of repainting a room you're unhappy with — the paint, the labor, and the weekend all over again. Taking the time and spending a little to land on exactly the right color is well worth it.

Step by step

Same board, same color, four different rooms

Color is not fixed. The exact same paint shifts warmer, cooler, lighter and darker depending on the light hitting it, the floor bouncing light back up, and what's on the wall next to it. This is how to see those shifts before you commit.

Step 1

Brush two full coats on a board

Paint the finished side of a sample poster board — two full coats, edge to edge, and let it cure. One thin coat reads lighter than the real thing and will lie to you.

Step 2

Check it in bright, direct sun

Strong Florida daylight washes a color out and pushes it lighter and warmer. A color that felt safe on the chip can read almost white on a south-facing wall at noon.

Step 3

Move it into the shade

In a shaded corner or a north-facing room the same paint goes cooler and deeper, and green, gray or violet undertones you never noticed step forward.

Step 4

Look again under lamp light

At night, warm bulbs add yellow and LEDs add blue. Rooms you live in after dark should be judged after dark, next to the lamps you actually use.

For the truest read, sample a quart in your actual product and sheen

A sample pint is a color tester, not the finished product. The same color can look slightly different once it's mixed in the paint line and sheen you actually buy — Regal Select in eggshell reflects light differently than Aura in matte, and that changes how the undertone reads on your wall. When a color has to be exactly right, we recommend buying a quart of the real product and sheen you plan to use, and brushing your board with that.
