How it works
Three steps to a decision you can trust
Paint is one of the few decisions you have to see in your own space before you commit.
01
Choose your palette
Select the set that matches your project, whether that's a single room, a whole house color plan, or one color family.
02
Receive your samples
Large-format samples arrive within 48 hours, with the color name and brand labeled on each one.
03
Live with the results
Tape them to your walls and move them between rooms. Watch how each color shifts from morning light to lamplight.
Why Physical Samples
Lighting changes everything
A color that looks right on screen can read too bright, too cold or too flat once it is on your wall. Color shifts with natural light, time of day, and the finishes around it.
Our samples are large enough to judge properly, so you find out in your own room rather than after five gallons.
- Large-format 8" x 8" samples, not paper chips
- Colors specified in real client projects
- Tested against furniture, rugs and fabrics
- Sheen and sourcing guidance included
Frequently Asked
Paint palette questions, answered
What comes in a paint palette?
Physical, large-format 8" x 8" paint samples of every color in the palette, mailed to your home. The Best Neutral Paint Colors also includes a downloadable guide covering sheen selection and where to buy.
How many samples are included?
The Best Neutral Paint Colors includes eleven samples. A Whole House Paint Palette includes fourteen. The Green Palette includes a curated range from soft neutral greens to deeper shades.
How quickly do they ship?
Samples arrive in your US mailbox within 48 hours, or within two business days. Digital guides are sent to your inbox immediately.
Which palette should I start with?
If you are painting your whole home, begin with A Whole House Paint Palette. For a dependable library of neutrals to return to, choose The Best Neutral Paint Colors. If you already know you want color, start with the Green Palette.
Are these real paint samples?
Yes. Printed chips and on-screen colors do not behave the way paint behaves on a wall, which is the reason we mail physical samples.
Which paint brands are included?
Our palettes draw from the brands we specify professionally. Each sample is labeled with the color name and brand so you can order it at your local paint store.
How should I use the samples?
Tape them to the wall you are considering and review them in morning light, afternoon light, and under lamps. Move them between rooms. The right color works throughout the day, not only once.
Can a palette be returned?
All paint palette sales are final. Full details are on our Shipping and Returns page.
Do you help with selection one-on-one?
Yes. If you would like a color plan developed specifically for your home, our design services team can take it from there.
