Paint samples at Ace Hardware can make choosing a new paint color for your home a less complicated process. Discover the different types of paint color samples to find the right match for your walls, then browse finishes and features for the perfect final touch.

How to Get Paint Sample from a Wall

One of the most reliable ways to get matching paint samples is by scraping off a one- to two-inch sample of wall paint. Target a point in the wall that is out of your line of sight to limit the disruption while you progress with your DIY paint project. 

Using a sharp object like a razor blade you can carefully strip away your sample. Take it to your nearest Ace to have it analyzed to get as close of a match as possible. 

How to Match Wall Paint Color Without a Sample 

If you’re weary of scraping off wall paint samples, you can try to get a close color match using yarn or fabric to match your wall or ceiling paint. If the yard or fabric you have on hand doesn’t closely match your existing wall paint color, you can try using a paint-matching smartphone app designed. Additionally, taking a high-quality photo and bringing it to your local Ace Hardware store can assist our knowledgeable associates in helping you get a match. 

Are Sample Paints and Regular Paints the Same?

Although there are similarities between the two, sample paints and regular paints are not the same. Sample-size paint typically has the same color as regular paint but tends to be thinner. What’s more, sample paints come in smaller, pint-sized cans. Regular paint is thicker than wall paint samples but carries a close color match to your sample so you can feel confident moving to your final job. 

Benjamin Moore Paint Samples

With a range of tints, finishes, and features available, you’ll be able to confidently select the right paint to tackle your next project. If you're not sure which type of paint is the right fit for your space, one of our knowledgeable associates be happy to help you choose. 

You can get Benjamin Moore paint samples at an Ace Hardware store near you, as well as paint samples from other brands like Clark + Kensington and Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines. Although sample paints are somewhat limited in the types of finishes they come in, different brand suppliers offer different choices. 

Tips for Applying a Sample of Paint 

Painting doesn’t have to be a nerve-wracking experience. Take these tips into consideration when applying your paint samples to help you make the right decisions later:

  • Test the sample paint on the wall you intend to paint over or a similar disposable surface. 
  • Paint multiple coats to have a better sense of the richness and depth of the color you are using.
  • Try to observe the room in different lighting conditions, as that will give you a better idea of the long-term suitability of your chosen color. This may mean painting on two walls in the same room.
  • Limit how many sample paint tints you use. You may feel overwhelmed by testing too many colors and trying to find just the right one. Being self-selective early can help you progress in the process.
