Colour matching paint product on a budget

Question

Is it generally easy to colour match budget-friendly products with more costly options? Or can this often prove quite difficult or even impossible?

Nathan Philip · Accepted Answer

Colour matching between budget-friendly products and more costly options can sometimes be difficult or even impossible, as the colour pigments and the manufacturing process used can vary greatly between products. Factors such as lighting conditions, product finishes, and the materials used can also impact the perceived colour.
However, with the advancement of technology and colour matching software, it has become easier to achieve close colour matches between different products. Ultimately, the ease of colour matching depends on the specific products and the desired level of accuracy in colour matching.

Spectrophotometers are only accurate 90% of the time to match colors. One tool for matching paint colors is a spectrophotometer, available at many paint stores. This tool is likely your best bet, but even so is only 90% accurate with training and experience. It can take several iterations to get the color right
