Good morning,

Can anyone advise on whether any paint makers /suppliers offer a reliable matching service from a paint chip sample? I don't expect an exact match, but close enough to just need a single coat to spruce up some rooms. We used proprietary acrylic emulsion last time (something like Crown I think) and it's lasted for years, but now needs some tlc.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

B&Q or Brewers will do that.

Thanks for both of the above. I did some googling before posting and couldn't find anything obvious, but there's a Brewers very near me - will check it out there.

Not used their paint matching service, but I can otherwise rate Brewers very highly.
