Sherwin-Williams Paint Samples

Sherwin-Williams greiges and whites shift more than almost any other line depending on light and trim. Agreeable Gray can look warm in one room and cool in another, so a stick-on swatch you can move around the house is the safest way to choose.

Real Sherwin-Williams peel-and-stick swatches are sold by Samplize for about $5.95 each — genuine SW paint, no trip to the store.

How to Test a Sherwin-Williams Color

  1. Order your top two or three colors as peel-and-stick swatches or small sample pots.
  2. Put them on more than one wall — color shifts between a wall facing the sun and one in shade.
  3. Look at them in the morning and again at night under your lamps before deciding.
  4. Hold the winner next to your trim, floor, and big furniture, not just the bare wall.
  5. Once you choose, any paint store can mix that exact Sherwin-Williams color in the finish and size you need.

Are the samples real Sherwin-Williams paint?

Yes. Samplize swatches are made with two coats of genuine Sherwin-Williams paint, so the color matches what you would get in a full gallon.

Three to five is typical. Colors look different next to each other and under changing light, so testing a few side by side beats guessing on one.
