We’ve ordered from Samplize several times already in this house. When we were deciding on hall colors, Samplize was a lifesaver. My contractor was adamant that once he’d prepared the walls, no additional paint should go on or it could cause flashing even once painted. Samplize was the only was to test out colors beyond a tiny swatch. I ordered tons of whites and a few wild card colors for the hallway, and it was one of those wild card colors that ended up being our choice (Nelson Blue). Had we not used Samplize, we probably would have gone with a neutral. We used it again in the dining room, where we were between a slew of different blue-greens. I wanted to get just the right color — not too vivid, not too muted. We put about 8 different Samplize samples up initially, then narrowed it down day-by-day until we landed on Stratton Blue (starting to see a color theme here?). With the front of the house, I wanted to take extra precautions not to get flashing and I didn’t want to mess up the color choice because that’s an expensive mistake to make. I put the colors up and left them for about a week, looking at them each time I went out the front door to take in the hues at different times of day and in different weather. LTKHome
