Colors

Sawyer · August 29th, 2003

Here is a little trick I have come across.

Colors are hard to get right most of the time I just eye ball what a client picks and try to match. At the Sherwin Williams web site they have a little color picker program that lets you take a photo crop out elements (say cabinets) and plop in actual sherwin williams colors. Personally I think the program stinks. But what it does do is bring in the correct colors as swatches then you can do an alt + printscreen and open it in photoshop. It is a couple steps but it works pretty well. Of course you have to be working with Sherwin Williams numbers but at least it works.

Well yes Jeff I see that that is much better. Most of the time I get numbers they are sw so I havent had to look for anything else.
