How to match a paint color from a photo
Upload a photo of the wall, fabric, or object you're trying to match and tap the exact spot. The tool reads that pixel's color and finds the closest real paint at every brand we carry — 18,522 paints across 11 brands (Backdrop, Behr, Benjamin Moore, Clare, Dunn-Edwards, Farrow & Ball, Kompozit, Magnolia Home, PPG / Glidden, Sherwin-Williams, Valspar) — ranked by ΔE2000, the same perceptual color-difference formula paint chemists use. No hex code needed, and the image is processed right in your browser — it never gets uploaded anywhere.
Get the most accurate match
- Shoot in soft, even daylight — direct sun and warm bulbs skew the color.
- Avoid shadows and glare on the spot you're sampling; tap a flat, evenly lit area.
- A photo is a starting point — always brush a real sample on the wall before buying.
FAQ
No. The image is read directly in your browser to pick the color — it's never sent to a server.
It's close, but lighting in a photo shifts color, so treat it as a strong starting point. Pick a few spots, then order a sample of the top match and test it on the wall.
Paste the hex or search the name in the boxes above — you'll get the same cross-brand matches without a photo.
