Nope I don’t believe it works like that, as every phone screen presents colors differently, your iPhone13 looks different than my 12 or 11, android or whatever else, pictures on phones are never accurate representation of colors…. I would suggest trying to find a paint supplier in your area that knows what they're doing, has some employees with a bit of tenure, and that you can learn to trust with your colors (maybe 1 of the SW stores is better than the other, or maybe it's forgoing BM & SW altogether in your particular area?) Best of luck! There are certain colors that require special bases, which are not kept in stock as often as the common bases, so maybe that is BM's issue? But the color you gave did not require a special base for SW paints, so idk what the deal is.Īll this to say, I'm not sure why you're having such a difficult time, it shouldn't be this hard. Now, with experience and practice comes the ability to adjust colors if need be, but even a relatively inexperienced associate should be able to make a minor adjustment to get it closer to the color card if needed. That being said, almost all the colors we do, save for custom matches, are in a database the computer does most of the work (as you mentioned previously), and the formulas in there are usually pretty dang close. Turnover has indeed been a big issue in many places, and that can definitely cause some issues. I hate to say it but I’ve almost completely lost faith in paint stores having employees who are able to to do their job, I bought a gallon of balboa mist last week that was literally 3 shades lighter than the chip I got off the wall, granted those are both Benny moore issues, I’ve experienced literally the same issues with Sherwin…. I brought the symphony blue paint back to the store twice before they literally told me that they cannot make that color with those tints…. It’s sad… When I buy from Sherwin or Benny moore I pretty much just expect to have to adjust the paint color once I get it… in the last 2 years I’ve picked up paint from the store for different projects at least 50 times, and twice has it been correct. Where as I pick up my Ben moore or Sherwin color and I get a dot on the side of the can…. The only place I’ve had luck with actually getting colors right is my industrial supplier where i get my lacquers from, it’s crazy, I drop off a color chip, when I get my product I’m handed my original color chip and a spray out chip of my product, to show that it’s the actual color I asked for……. The paint colors I receive are hardly ever even reasonably close to the color chips they provide, the turnover of employees at the stores in my area makes it hard for me to believe that These employees are legitimately trained the way you are suggesting. I’m talking about the legitimate paint stores, there’s two different Sherwin Williams in my area and a Riccardi brothers(Benny moore) as well, they only sell paint, and can hardly make their own colors, and this has been a trend for the last few years it seems.
