About this app

Matching paint just got easier. Connect to your ColorSnap™ Match Pro or ColorSnap™ Match paint matching tools (sold separately at Sherwin-Williams Stores) for easy, on-the-spot color matching.

Simply scan the color of a flat surface to match to the closest Sherwin-Williams paint color. The ColorSnap™ Match Pro device identifies a paint’s sheen in addition to the closest paint color.

You know as well as we do that matching a paint color can be a difficult and time-consuming process. With so many different colors and sheens available, it’s tough to nail down the right color without taking a sample into the store. That’s why we designed the new ColorSnap™ Match Pro. Eliminate the guesswork in paint matching by instantly matching to the closest Sherwin-Williams paint color and sheen with the click of a button.


App Features:

- Scan and match to the closest Sherwin-Williams paint color.
- Determine a paint’s sheen (Requires ColorSnap™ Match Pro).
- Compare two colors.
- Save and share paint colors and photos.
- View coordinating colors.
- Locate the nearest Sherwin-Williams store.

Ratings and reviews

You have to purchase a hardware component for this app (camera?). This is totally unnecessary. If you use a white calibration sheet, such as white printer paper, any modern phone camera should be able to capture the true color of paint. The app would identify the reference sheet, then adjust its "color balance" to make the reference sheet white, then match the surrounding paint color to a library.

Although the app crashes frequently and requires pairing too often it has been a helpful tool. Especially with not being able to meet all of our clients. Color coordination is made easier wirelessly. I can put together folders for clients to review and choose from. I went so far as to color match our cabinet and tile samples so we can "translate" them into SW colors rather than attempt to describe them or depending on pictures that will vary with different monitors.

Requires a peripheral tool, why make an app for a phone when the phone app just comprimises your privacy and nothing else.. the phone has a camera, it can take pictures, it can more than likely do what the peripheral is doing.. the app is just a gateway to buy something you will only use a few times then on to the junk drawer. Lame!!!! The sad thing is the homedepot app actually works with the camera no peripheral.
