Paint Colour Matching

[SandyGT]

Hi

 

I was wondering if Someone knows if it is possible to have a paint colours made up in Thailand. I have a recipe from back in Australia of an interior house paint. 

Do TEA use the same formula tints as other countries or is it a different system?

Most paint manufacturers offer standard variants for describing colours - mostly CMYK or RGB. You should be able to get the CMYK or RGB values for your Australian colour and then go to the TEA website and enter those values to get the closest match in their range.

 

The match will be so close that unless you tried to use the Australian and local paints together on the same wall, your eyes likely wont be able to tell the difference.

Given the ease of this service in just about any builders merchants and ALL the larger ones like Homepro Thai watsadu Global house etc, why not take your formula and go ask them and get it from the horses mouth. ????????

"Pantone" is one of a number of colour standards, but do be aware of batch / manufacturer differences if you are actually trying to match.

 

Not paint but wall cladding, same Pantone number, different manufacturers!

Basically you can get any colour you want mixed, however there will be subtle differences depending on the base used and the surface finish required, chatoyant can make the same colour appear different in different lighting and illuminated from a different angle.

You will benefit from going to a real paint store, ours has records of paint purchased for the last 7+ years. The best way is to go in with an actual paint sample so they can match the exact colour. We have just purchased about 20k of paint. These are 2 of the custom colours we will use along with the recipe and colour sample
