Depending on wherE you are in the country you may not have access to
the new Aura paint by Benjamin Moore and they have that also. I was
so frustrated prior to this site because I would go to this paint
store about 20 minutes drive from my home and I wanted to test all
these colors and they only 2 out of 12 in a TINY 2OZ jar. Apparently
benjamin moore does not have testers for more then 400 of there 4,000
colors. Also that jar was tiny I couldnt even fit a brush in the
jar. The Mini-Can was perfect I was able to do a large sample on my
wall. the colors I chose are

Damn, you wanted to test all 20 of the colors on the wall? Isn't that what
they make paint chips for?

The paint chips are too small to be able to visualize well how the will look on
a larger area, how the color will look on the particular texture one has (or
lack thereof), how the color will look in shadows on part of it and various
times of the day.

Like Edwin, I've also used them for really small projects. You just don't have
to use a big brush.
