Overview
Tester pots are an essential step when choosing the right paint colour, helping you refine your options before committing to a full tin. They provide a practical way to explore different shades and see how they interact with your space. You can also watch our video guide for helpful tips on how to apply tester paint and get the most accurate results.
By testing colours at home, you can observe how they respond to changing natural and artificial light, as well as how they sit alongside your furnishings and finishes. This helps avoid costly mistakes and ensures a more confident final choice.
For the most accurate results, apply tester paint to a movable surface such as a board or card. This allows you to view the colour in different areas of the room and at various times of day, giving a clearer understanding of how it will truly appear once applied.
