On the Premises Colour Matching

• Every new colour is given a unique code number which allows us to repeat the mix.
• Each new colour is one more added to our computerised database, which contains over 100,000 colours instantly available.
• The colorimetric profile of each colour is stored electronically and new samples can be compared against these.
• Colours can be matched to satisfy most lighting conditions e.g. daylight / tungsten / fluorescent lighting and many other forms.

There is no extra charge for colours that are already found to be on our database.  If no satisfactory match can be found immediately there will be a colour matching charge of £30 + VAT for each colour specially matched. This price will be added to the cost of the paint, and will be a once-only charge.

Approximately seven days should be allowed for a special match.

Although colour matching is carried out by eye, for a number of years we have been using a spectrophotometer to guarantee accuracy.

On Site Colour Matching

Colour matching can be carried out on a client's own premises.  This may take the form of just one surface to be measured, or a full colour survey of the whole building.  Consultancy rates will apply, and reduced charges made for colour matching.  Travel expenses and accommodation will be charged at cost.

Further details can be found here: Portable Spectrophotometer.
