What the tool considers

  • A color can be viewed at once in HEX, RGB, HSL, calculated CMYK and CIE Lab.
  • The closest shades are compared using ΔE00, and the results can be filtered by available brands.
  • Verified shades include links to the manufacturer source so the digital comparison can be checked.

A HEX match or low ΔE does not mean paints are officially interchangeable. Sheen, substrate, lighting and tinting formula affect perception — confirm the final color with a physical sample.
