Matching paint just got easier. Connect to your ColorSnap™ Match Pro or ColorSnap™ Match paint matching tools (sold separately at Sherwin-Williams Stores) for easy, on-the-spot color matching. Simply scan the color of a flat surface to match to the closest Sherwin-Williams paint color. The ColorSnap™ Match Pro device identifies a paint’s sheen in addition to the closest paint color. You know as well as we do that matching a paint color can be a difficult and time-consuming process. With so many different colors and sheens available, it’s tough to nail down the right color without taking a sample into the store. That’s why we designed the new ColorSnap™ Match Pro. Eliminate the guesswork in paint matching by instantly matching to the closest Sherwin-Williams paint color and sheen with the click of a button. App Features: - Scan and match to the closest Sherwin-Williams paint color. - Determine a paint’s sheen (Requires ColorSnap™ Match Pro). - Compare two colors. - Save and share paint colors and photos. - View coordinating colors. - Locate the nearest Sherwin-Williams store.

I like it because since I have epilepsy even though I have a marketing degree no business wanted to give me a job since I graduated from college. It’s why I’m always changing the colors of my house every year or two to improve the look of my house and I can keep myself busy and learn more of how to decorate a house by section with the decorations that I have just changing the colors of walls and kitchen cabinets as well as bathroom cabinets. I’d nice to see a new face in my home and feel as if is completely new. Thank you for this help for more inspiration.

This is a waste of an app. One, I’m not buying a $50 accessory to scan existing paint so I can compare shades. What I’d LOVE and would make this a useful and friendly, practical app is to be able to compare shades I’ve saved. To be able to create MY OWN coordinating color palate to better visualize how colors I might want go together or not. Building on that idea, it would be awesome if SW made it so it could tell me if they are complementary, id they are more yellow or bluish in a varying shade. Like some blues are more gray, or purple. THEN to be able to see these saved colors on an image, more that one color on everything. These suggestions would be fantastic for the computer (web) version of Color Snap as well. My furnace blew soot ALL over my house so EVERYTHING needs to be repainted, in every room. We recently bought this home, so it needed painting anyway-but it’s every room. That’s a lot of paint choices! It would be helpful if this painting “tool” was more versatile. A competitive company’s color tool does better in many of these areas so it’s surprising SW hasn’t bothered. It doesn’t help that the mini containers for mixing paint samples hasn’t been available in over two years, and tiny color chips are not enough. This app need more features, better coding, to make it worth the hassle of selecting from thousands of paint options.

App colors are kind of close - shopping is a challenge

App color matching is not exact - it’s always a few shades off. Will get you the general shade but definitely also get samples in a shade darker and also a shade lighter.Buying is a challenge … Sherwin Williams does not organize their paint chips by number in the store so it takes a lot of hunting and some help to find the colors that could be quickly found if the store experience mirrored the app experience.

Beware—Colors are WAY off. Get a paint sample!

We used this app to “paint” a photo of our house with an HOA-approved color scheme. What looked like a light tan on the app was actually a medium gray. Not even remotely close. Our biggest mistake was not getting a color sample at the store. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Changing the color would have cost us an extra $2500 for new paint and labor, so we are going with a color scheme that we would never have chosen had I taken the app’s rendering with a grain of salt and gotten a paint sample. I’m going to have to re-tile in our backyard and change out outdoor furniture to match the new color scheme. Really kicking myself.
