If they suggest matching the colors in another brand "to save money," ask them these simple questions: "Will you guarantee a perfect match after the paint dries and cures for three weeks or repaint for free if it's off? " They won't, and here's why: Painters don't make or match paint. They apply it. Paint company matches allow for a 10% variance due to differences in pigment formulas, quality levels, sheens, surface textures, lighting conditions, and surrounding colors. Hire someone who respects your vision and understands that quality paints deliver better long-term results. If you are doing it yourself, make sure you have all the tools you need.

Texture Absorption: Wall textures interact with paint differently, leading to inconsistencies. Lighting Conditions: Colors shift dramatically under diverse lighting throughout the day, not to mention at night. Unique Formulas: Each brand has proprietary pigments and bases, making true matches impossible. A No Substitution Policy We have a When it comes to professional painting projects, labor costs make up 75-85% of the total price, while paint accounts for only 15-20%. Settling for cheaper paints might save a few dollars upfront but compromises the final result. Each Devine color is unique to our formulation and can't be duplicated. We don't color match other brands due to formulations When side-by-side, on a wall, exposed to lighting, Devine Colors will reflect differently than match.

Matching Promise vs. Matching Compromise What People Think: Paint colors can be matched across different brandsWhat Actually Happens: True color matching between different paint brands is virtually impossible due to unique pigment interactions and formulations.  Cost Reality vs. Cost Value Paint material only represents 15-20% of professional job costs Labor comprises 75-85% of total expenses Choosing cheaper "matched" paint saves minimal money while significantly impacting results. Paint Talk vs. Real Talk What People Think: Painters and contractors often suggest color matching to their paint company of choice because it saves you money.Reality Check: Painter's incentives is not your incentives. They get better deals on products that save them money. You get an almost color for pennies on the dollar for something that is factually not the same. Example: $5,000 Dollar Paint Job Paint Material Costs (15-20% of total):Minimum: $750 (15% of $5,000) Maximum: $1,000 (20% of $5,000)Labor Costs (75-85% of total):Minimum: $3,750 (75% of $5,000) Maximum: $4,250 (85% of $5,000) Let's assume choosing a cheaper "matched" paint saves $100 on material costs: Original project cost: $5,000. Project cost with cheaper paint: $4,900. Percentage of total cost saved: 2% Impact vs. Savings 1. While saving $100 might seem appealing, it's crucial to a color project quality: The 2% savings is minimal compared to the total project cost.2. These small savings could significantly compromise color accuracy, coverage, and longevity.3. The majority of the project cost (75-85%) is in labor, which remains unchanged. Value Consideration When weighing the cost savings against potential drawbacks, A 2% reduction in total cost might lead to a disproportionate decrease in quality and satisfaction. The long-term value of using premium, correctly matched paint likely outweighs the minor upfront savings. Compromising Devine Color paint quality (or anyone elses') could lead to additional costs in the future, such as needing to repaint sooner or requiring more coats for adequate coverage. In conclusion, while saving $100 on a $5,000 project might be tempting, it represents a mere 2% of the total cost. High risk for pennies on the dollar. Good Enough vs. Exactly What You Wanted What People Think: The color matches look close enough to go with what the painter suggested. He must know what he is talking about. Reality Check: Yes, the painter knows that most homeowners don't test the matches on a wall, side by side, and look at them in different lighting for several days to see if the color works like they did with their original choices. Think black pants! You don't know the color is off until you step outside, into the light. Statistically, a 10% color variance rate difference (industry standard) becomes exponentially significant when applied to large wall surfaces impacted by: Sheen variations Surface texture Ambient lighting Surrounding colors Looks Similar vs. Reflects Beautifully What People Think: The color matches look close enough to go with what the painter suggested.
