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. Read About Color Matching Big Emotional Pay Offs Your body speaks fluent color. It instinctively recognizes when a color feels off because color has the power to transform how you feel in a space. Gretchen Schauffler understands the role of color density, reflection, and harmony in creating somatic atmospheres that feel better even than they look. Her color harmonies and Colorwright paint formulas are always on pitch, never off-key. 

Quality: More Than Just a Price Tag At Color Baggage, we empower you to take control of your color experience. It starts with recognizing that you have "color baggage"—those powerful color attractions you've loved since you first saw them and continue to feel throughout your life. No matter the fleeting trends, these color relationships resonate like true love. They connect you to a sense of belonging, beauty, and a feeling that's as good as it looks because when it comes to creating harmony, we believe in starting from within you. Our Devine Color's quality, value, and emotional resonance come from our unique color harmony, which is unmatchable in every way. Paint brands are like cars. While all follow the same regulations and use similar parts, they perform differently depending on cost and craftsmanship. When it comes to professional paint jobs, the real story lies beneath the surface of the color you choose. Paint material costs, quality, and color formulations are unique to each paint company. Premium paint is premium because of higher quality materials. Period. There is absolutely no reason a painter should assume you are not worthy of premium paint unless there are hidden costs in his bid that have to do with paint. Take charge of your color experience by knowing what you are buying. Good Enough vs. What You Want Paint accounts for only 15-20% of your total cost Labor makes up 75-85% of the investment Using premium paints adds cost but delivers maximum value Discuss premium quality with your paint company, not your painter. Color Matching Statistically speaking, 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 These factors make it nearly impossible to achieve a perfect match, even with advanced technology. WARNING:  When a painter tells you a paint color match will be close enough take charge of your own color experience, and ask them this: "Will you guarantee your work and repaint after the paint dries and cures for three weeks for free if your color match is  off?" They won't, and neither will any paint company you call.  COLORWRIGHT™ PRODUCTS: SUPREME QUALITYSame Devine Color Harmony | Fortified Coat Application | Top-Grade | Low VOC Base ESSENTIAL VALUESame Devine Color Harmony |  Basic Coat Application | Pro-Grade | No VOC Base COLOWRIGHT™ PAINT FINISHES Powder Seashell-Matte™: All Surface Finish For Chill Spaces | 3% Light ReflectionYour walls are about to experience a color resurrection.

Named for the silky synthetic fabric that owned the disco era, CB Luscious Quiana-Gloss Finish™ catches the light and gives it back to your room. Here's everything you need to know about this satin finish — and why the right surfaces have been waiting for it.

The Scoop on Matte Finishes By Gretchen Schauffler CB Powder Seashell Matte Finish was inspired by the look and feel of Bainbridge clams, ancient Caribbean forts, and shallow ocean beds. It carries the flawless, dense quality of limestone — that particular white that isn't blank, it's full — in an exclusive acrylic-latex formula that is livable, with seamless touch-up ability built right in. This is the finish that makes color look like it came from inside the wall. No glare interfering. No shine diluting. Just the color, exactly as it was meant to be seen. Not every room needs matte — but the rooms that do will make you wonder how you ever lived without it. Curing Time for Matte Wall Finishes Touch dry: 1–2 hours Re-coat: 4+ hours Full cure: 14–30 days Full hardness (before placing objects or hanging items): 5–10 days Ideal curing conditions: Temperature: 60°F–80°F (16°C–26°C) Humidity: 50–70% relative humidity Ventilation: good airflow throughout Note: thicker coats take longer to cure than thinner ones Why Matte Works Conceals surface imperfections better than any other finish — ideal for older walls and textured surfaces Absorbs light rather than reflecting it, letting the true color come through with exceptional depth and richness Easy touch-ups — matte blends back into itself better than any other finish, nearly invisibly Reduced glare in brightly lit rooms creates a more comfortable, restful visual experience Quiet, refined, intentional — the reason high-end interiors default to matte What to know going in: Matte is easy to touch up but not easy to scrub — know which walls you're putting it on More susceptible to scuffing and marks in high-traffic areas like hallways and mudrooms — plan for touch-ups as part of maintenance, not as a failure For marks and spots: dilute white vinegar, apply to the affected area, leave 5–10 minutes, work gently with a microfibre cloth, rinse with warm water, dry thoroughly Not suitable for high-moisture spaces — use satin or semi-gloss in bathrooms and kitchens Curious about the finish that inspired it all?
