Overview
Craig and Rose paint sample pots are a simple and reliable way to choose the right colour before committing to a full tin. Designed to give an accurate impression of the finished look, they allow you to test shades in your own space and see how they respond to changing light throughout the day.
Colour can appear very different depending on lighting, room orientation and surrounding décor. Using sample pots helps you make a more confident decision by comparing shades directly in your environment. For best results, apply the paint to a movable surface rather than directly onto the wall, so it can be viewed in different areas. You can also watch the video on this page for a step-by-step guide to achieving the most accurate results.
Comparing a few shades side by side can make it easier to narrow down your choice, especially when selecting between similar tones. Once you have found the right colour, you can move forward with confidence knowing it will work in your space.
