Question : Can home Depot or Lowes match a Benjamin Moore WITHOUT the paint chip?
There is a color at Benjamin Moore that I am in love with! Very long story short, my home needs to be painted this weekend and it is physically impossible (even longer story) to make it to a Benjamin Moore store to physically have the paint chip from there. Does Home Depot or Lowe's have competitors colors in their computer? Are there any other paint stores that do? I tried to find the same shade online for brands that Home Depot sells and am coming up empty! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

All Answers: Answer #1They can't match anything w/out a chip! If you find a sample that's the same color, at the store,they can match that. I used to work at The HomeDepot. They do not have competitor's products inthere computers.Hope this helps.

Call your local Lowes or Home Depot and ask ifthey have the fan deck for Benjamin Moore. Ifthey do (and most do) then they can mix the paintfor you.Good luck.

hmm, someone correct me if i'm wrong but i dobelieve they will need SOME kind of sample. iwould guess the best sample would be the 18"x18"BMoore chipif you have experience you can attemptthe closest match and mix a pint of another colorand universal tints (eg phthalo blue, raw sienna,raw umber, etc) to "color match" ... needless tosay this takes a trained eye and confidence but ifyou achieve a great shade you'll be doing a happydance. tints are quite affordable

I don't know if they do or not, but why don't yougo to the site below and find the color, and printout a sample, or at least write down the colorname and stock number. Maybe they'll be able tohelp thatway.

Yes Home Depot can match any color from BenjaminMoore, Sherwin-Williams, Etc. They have a computerthat looks up the color code for each color thesestores have. I know this because I am a paintingcontractor and I have needed paint on the weekendsfrom Benjamin-Moore and didn't have a sample, butthe people at Home Depot looked up the color andmade it for me.

If you go to a paint store, and not just a hugebargin warehouse to buy paint I can tell you yesthey can.You do not need a chip to match acolor.Although they might not sell "benjaminmoore" paint at those places. The paint storewill keep fan decks, which is samples of all ofthe colors to a collection, on pretty much anybrand of paint you could think of and a whole lotmore.I work for a small business local paint shopand I can tell you we have over 100 fan decks,some up to 15 or more years old of varryingcompetitors. We can match any color. Most otherstores to keep up with competition will do thesame.
