Selecting the right paint color for your space can feel overwhelming, but Benjamin Moore's small color samples make it simple and cost-effective. Available at Southwestern Paint locations around Houston, Texas, these samples allow you to test different colors in your own space before making a commitment. Here’s why these samples are a must-have for any painting project:
True Color Representation: Lighting can dramatically change how a color appears in a room. With Benjamin Moore's small samples, you can see firsthand how each hue looks in your specific lighting conditions.
Minimal Risk, Maximum Reward: Instead of committing to a full can of paint and realizing it’s not quite right, these samples provide a low-cost way to trial different shades.
Eco-Friendly Option: By using small samples, you produce less waste. If you decide a color isn’t right, you haven’t wasted a large amount of paint, making this an environmentally responsible choice.
1. Test in Different Lights: Apply a sample to a small wall section and observe how the color changes throughout the day under natural and artificial light.
2. Use Primer for True Color: If you’re painting over a bold or dark color, apply a primer first to ensure the sample shows its true tone.
3. Compare with Furnishings: Place your sample near furniture, curtains, and decor to see how it complements your existing style.
4. Paint Large Swatches: Painting a larger swatch provides a clearer sense of the color than a small dab, helping you truly envision it across the room.
5. Take Your Time: Live with the sample for a few days. Observe it under different lighting at various times to make sure it’s the perfect choice.
