Hey Girls! Quick question...when I got my laptop, I lost all of my favorite sites and the pc is now gone. Used to have a link to download a program that allowed us to pick a paint brand's color and get a comparable match using a different brand. Does anyone still have the link so I can download it?

I know we can color match but many times, for me anyway, it really doesn't match.

Right now, I'm trying to find Glidden's closest match to BM Shaker Beige.

BTW - kitchen is still not done. SURPRISE!!! LOL

I had Lowes do Shaker Beige for me in a Valspar paint. It looks the same as the swatch.

Wanda: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This was one of two sites that I used to use - especially with trying out paint colors in pics of my rooms. I was missing this one as well!!! Thank you too for letting me know how your color matching went with Lowe's and Valspar Paint!

I always get my paint colors matched at Lowes. They have always done a great job.

Hi Tammy!

Just yesterday I went to Lowe's and told them a Behr color, and it only took a minute or two. I got it mixed in Valspar paint.

How's the house going? Glad to see you posting!
