Why color in the paint can is not the same as it dries out on the walls

The explanation begins with the fact that the components of paint reflect light differently when they are wet (in-can) compared to when they are dried (on the wall). These subtle differences are quite common and not a reflection on the quality of a paint product.


A handy tip to make sure you are happy with the end color on your wall is to use a sampler pot, apply the paint and check how it looks after drying. Many of the high quality paint brands offer tester pots from the different ranges available.
