Help:I have formula need paint name?

10 years ago

I have the paint formula on the can but the color was color matched at SW and I really need the name of the color so I can find a darker color on the paint strip. I called the paint store but they said they couldn't look it up that way. Any ideas??

What company made the original color?

Take a sample of the paint into a good paint store and match it to what's there and then look at darker shades of the same. If you feel you can't eyeball it, the paint store employees should be able to.

It's possible the fan deck with that paint strip was not put together with degrees of saturation of the same color . This is something our resident expert, Funcolors, has mentioned numerous times here.

If you can post a really good photo of the paint color, someone on the Home Decorating forum may be familiar with it. There is some amazing talent and knowledge over there.

99o/o sure it is a well known pale gray color, most likely a BM color. Thought for sure I had it nailed down to BM Gray Owl but when SW looked it up the formula didn't match.Thank you for the suggestion;-)
