Paint colors

The paint colors people search for most, each with the code, color value and light reflectance value (LRV) the brand itself publishes. Every page works out the undertone, lists the coordinating colors the brand suggests, and finds the nearest color from the other brands, measured with CIEDE2000.

A screen can only approximate paint. Sheen, the light in your room and your display all shift it, so treat these as a shortlist and check a real sample on the wall. ColorPlum is not affiliated with any paint company.

Wondering which paint colors the brands have named as their Color of the Year? Our study of every Color of the Year since 2000 lists each pick with its code and published value, and measures how the picks have changed.
