~paint colors~

Are you ever browsing Pinterest and come across an image that you think,
 "I wonder what that paint color is?"

Happens to me all the time. 
So here is what I do~I chip it.
Sherwin Williams has a great website called LETS CHIP IT, that allows you to import a photo and they tell you what paint colors in their line are close to the colors in the photo.
It really takes the guesswork out of things.

Here are a few things I have "chipped"








As you can see, you can even "chip" paint swatches.
For example, I believe these paints above are Farrow and Ball. 
If you don't have access to that paint line, but do Sherwin Williams, just chip it.
Ok, now I sound like a commercial, but I really do love this site, and thought I'd share it~again.
xoxo
