Default Match indoor paint color



Before I start calling around, does anyone have experience matching
colors with the gadget?


Just about ANY place that sells paint (including Wally World) has a
gadget that will match your paint sample.

The color match is usually "spot on." The problem is finding the best
match for the texture. Typically, most paints only come in three
textures: flat, semi, and full gloss. If you are trying to match well
worn paint the textures will not quite match.

But it looks worse to you than it does to the average person just
walking by.



Appreciate your input.
