Colour Matching

Colour is the part customers think about most and the part hardest to communicate. A code is exact. A photo is not.

If you have the paint code, that is the shortest route and the most reliable one. Codes exist for a reason.

Without a code we work from a physical sample: an existing door, an offcut, a drawer front. Anything that carries the actual colour under real light.

Whites are the hardest match, not the easiest. There are dozens of them and they shift under different light, so a white that matches in the workshop can look wrong in your kitchen. That is worth knowing before you choose.

How it runs

  1. 01SourcePaint code, existing door or physical sample.
  2. 02MatchMixed to formula or matched against the sample.
  3. 03Spray outTest piece sprayed in the real finish and sheen.
  4. 04ApproveYou sign off on a sprayed sample, not a screen.
  5. 05ApplyThe approved mix goes on the job.

Questions we actually get

Can you match my existing kitchen so I can add to it?
Usually. Bring or send one existing door: a physical sample under real light beats a code from a decade-old invoice, and it beats a photograph by a long way. There is a colour match fee on the price list for this.
Is white hard to match?
Whites are the hardest, not the easiest. There are dozens of them and they shift under different light, so one that matches in the workshop can look wrong in your kitchen. Worth knowing before you commit.
