We've made every effort to make the colours on screen as close as possible to the ones you will use. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match. Photographs and paint swatch colours will vary depending on your screen settings and resolution. The site is designed to help you get a better idea of your colour scheme ideas but you should always test paint before you commit to a large purchase.
