Preview colours

Previewing colours is an important step in the painting process. Behr offers a Paint Colour Visualizer Tool, Paint Your Place, which helps you to preview colours in your home. This tool is available for both consumer and professional paint jobs.

The Paint Your Place tool allows you to visualise how different colours will look in your space before committing to a final decision. You can upload your own photo or choose from a gallery of images to find the perfect colour match for your desired space. This tool helps you to explore, visualize, and buy paint from the ColorSmart collection by Behr.

Additionally, you can order samples of one or two paint colours with free shipping to see them in real life before investing in a full order. This allows you to be confident in your colour choice and ensure it matches your expectations.

Behr also provides a range of sheen options, including Hi-Gloss, flat, satin, and semi-gloss enamel sheens, each offering unique characteristics such as durability, dirt resistance, and moisture resistance. These sheen options can be considered when previewing colours to achieve the desired finish and functionality for your space.

Once a colour is selected, users can further coordinate or preview the colour in a room image.

Explore Color

One tool is the Colour Wheel, which enables users to browse colours by family, such as reds, oranges, yellows, and so on. Users can also browse colours by shade, from light to dark. This is a great way to find colours that are similar to one another and that may work well together in a palette.

Another tool within Explore Color is the Colour Trends palette. Here, users can discover the latest trending colours and explore palettes curated by Behr's colour experts. These palettes can inspire users and provide a starting point for creating a cohesive colour scheme.

The Colour Studio is another feature within Explore Color that offers a collection of curated palettes for various styles and tastes. These palettes can spark creativity and help users find unique and harmonious colour combinations. Whether users are looking for a classic, modern, or eclectic aesthetic, the Colour Studio has options to explore.

Additionally, the Explore Color feature includes the Colour Smart tool, which allows users to explore colours by room type and style. Users can select a room, such as a kitchen, bedroom, or living room, and then choose a style that appeals to them, like modern, traditional, or eclectic. The tool will then suggest colours that are popular for that specific room and style, making it easier for users to narrow down their choices and find colours that will suit their space.

Lastly, the Behr Paint app also provides users with the ability to upload photos and use them to create custom colour palettes. With this tool, users can pull colours directly from their inspiration photos, whether it's a beautiful landscape, a favourite piece of art, or a fabric pattern they love. This feature ensures that users can find colours that perfectly match their vision and helps them to bring their ideas to life.

Sheen Selector

The sheen of paint is an important consideration when choosing a paint for your project. Sheen refers to the level of light reflection a paint has. Different sheens are suitable for different surfaces and areas of your home. A flat sheen, for example, is non-reflective, easy to apply and touch up, and will minimize the appearance of minor surface imperfections. On the other hand, a hi-gloss enamel sheen has a brilliant, shiny appearance and a durable, glass-like finish that allows dirt and grime to be wiped clean.

• Flat sheen: This option has a non-reflective finish that touches up well and hides minor surface imperfections. It is easy to apply and touch up.
• Matte sheen: This sheen has a low-luster, reflective finish that is durable, easy to clean, and good for touching up. It also hides minor surface imperfections.
• Eggshell enamel sheen: This sheen has a soft, velvety appearance that resists dirt, grime, and mildew.
• Satin enamel sheen: This sheen creates a pearl-like finish that is durable and dirt-resistant. It will resist moisture, fading, and stains.
• Semi-gloss enamel sheen: This sheen is sleek and radiant with a hard, durable finish. It is formulated to withstand wear and will resist moisture, fading, and stains.
• Hi-Gloss enamel sheen: This sheen has a brilliant, shiny appearance and a durable, glass-like finish. Dirt and grime can be easily wiped clean.

When choosing a sheen, it is important to consider the specific requirements of your project, such as the level of durability, ease of application, and desired level of reflectiveness. By selecting the proper sheen, you can achieve a beautiful and long-lasting finish.
