In-Store Color Matching
Found a colour you love – on an old wall, a cushion, a tile or a piece of furniture? Bring a sample to our store in Yerevan. We measure it with an X-Rite MetaVue spectrophotometer and mix the colour into any paint we sell – Dunn-Edwards, Richard's Paint or Florida Paints – in the sheen you choose.
Color matching is free with your paint purchase, and your paint is usually ready the same day.
How it works
- Bring a sample to Sayat-Nova 35, or tell us a colour code.
- We measure it and mix a sample of the colour.
- Check the sample at home. Paint a small patch and look at it in daylight and in the evening.
- Approve the colour, and we mix the full amount you need.
No-risk sample: if you're not satisfied with the matched sample, you don't pay for it – if you've already paid, we refund it in full.
What to bring
- A clean, dry, flat piece about 3 × 3 cm or larger: a paint chip, a flake of old paint, fabric, tile, wallpaper or a cabinet door.
- Small or uneven items work too – the instrument can read a spot as small as 2 mm.
- No sample? A colour code is enough – RAL or a colour from another brand's fan deck.
Good to know
- Codes from other brands are converted to the closest formula in our paint, which is why we always start with a sample.
- Metallic, pearlescent, translucent and heavily textured surfaces can only be matched approximately.
- Faded or dirty paint is matched as it looks now, not as it was when new. Clean the sample, or take it from a protected spot such as behind furniture or inside a cupboard.
- Sheen changes how a colour looks, so tell us which one you need – see How to choose paint sheen.
- The full volume is mixed to order after you approve the colour, so it can't be returned unless it is defective – see our refund policy.
Why a spectrophotometer?
The human eye is easily fooled by shop lighting and by the colours around a sample. A spectrophotometer uses its own controlled light source and measures how the surface reflects light across the whole visible spectrum, so the result doesn't depend on the room or on who is looking. That gives a closer, repeatable starting formula.
