A color is more than a swatch.

The same pigment can look different on canvas, fabric or a textured surface. We discuss the paint body, finish and application alongside the shade, so the sample can be evaluated in the way your customer will actually use it.

See it on the right surface.

Start with a reference you like. Compare the trial on your chosen material, then review the dried finish under consistent lighting. Keep the approved physical sample as the reference for future discussions.
