Try before you paint
Choosing a paint colour is exciting—but it can be tricky to visualise how a shade will look in your space, lighting, and style. That’s why Wattyl makes it easy to test colours at home before you commit.
Wattyl colour samplers
The Wattyl Colour Sampler range allows you to paint a test patch and see exactly how the colour looks on your wall, in different lighting, and next to your furnishings.
Four levels of colour depth to help you decide:
- White – 500ml – Ideal for sampling whites, off-whites, and very pale neutrals.
- Light – 500ml – For testing soft pastels and subtle tones.
- Mid – 500ml – Great for mid-toned hues, including greens, blues and pinks.
- Strong – 500ml – Perfect for bold, rich, or dark colours like navy, terracotta, or charcoal.
Why use a colour sampler?
- See how the paint looks in your natural light
- Test multiple shades side-by-side
- Avoid costly mistakes and repainting
Tip: Paint two coats on an A4 board or directly onto the wall. Move the board around the room to see how it reacts to changing light throughout the day.
