How to

Test  Paint  COlors

Learn how to easily and quickly test paint colors on your wall with no mess! Use adhesive paint sample sheets to see which color will work best on your wall.

Before Painting

You will need to test out a few colors and decide on your favorite. Pick up some samples from the store

Avoid Testing on the Wall

If you want to avoid painting swatches on the wall and having to cover them up, try these tester sheets.

SureSwatch Sheets

These are clear film sheets that you paint with your sample color. Then, you peel off the liner and stick them to the wall anywhere in your room.

Paint the Sheets

It’s quick and easy to paint each sheet. I only had to use one coat of the BEHR Marquee paint on each sample sheet.

Repeat for all Colors

Here’s how all of my sample sheets looked once they were painted and dry.

Place on the Wall

Next, peel off the backing of each sheet and place it on the wall. 

Test in Different Areas

Because the sheets are adhesive and removable, you can test the color on different walls and sections of the room.

This will help you see how the color looks in different areas and lighting.
