These are mathematical colour suggestions, not a manufacturer’s palette. A HEX code is not a paint-mixing formula.
Your colour board
Only the text brief is saved when you choose Save. Your photo and tint preview are not uploaded. The board otherwise lasts for this page session; download it before leaving.
How much paint?
Wall estimate only. Enter the actual product coverage, intended coats and your own price. Ceilings and woodwork need separate allowances.
Take the next step at the paint counter.
Bring a suitable physical sample or select a manufacturer swatch, confirm the product and finish, then test it in your room. Tell the retailer about the surface and required quantity.
B&Q publishes paint-mixing information, and Valspar describes colour matching from physical samples. Our digital brief is a reference for that conversation, not a machine-readable recipe or a guaranteed match.
- Check the colour in daylight and evening light.
- Buy a tester before the full order.
- Record the final manufacturer colour reference and finish.
- Confirm coverage and pack sizes before purchase.
