please can someone tell manafacturers of paint to put a realisitc colour chart on the tin or even to use the same colours in the sample pots.

In between painting and having a swift beer my nice coloured lemon paint is more like flurescent yellow, if i bought a lemon that colour i would think it was mutated

no not the beer is making my eyes distorted before u ask

Hi desmund,
I,ve been working in the paint trade (albeight motor vehicles) for the past twenty years. We have the same problems with colour charts. The chart colours are not "actual paint " but a printed ink.
The ink is as close as colour pigmentation will allow and are only a rough guide. :lecture:

Adelaide soon please!!!

i can vouch for that also, but from the printers side. had to mark up artwork to match paint samples, it's a right pain in the rear.
