Capabilities

Tools 3

find_paint_color

Look up a specific paint color by name or color number (e.g. 'Agreeable Gray', 'SW 7029', 'HC-154', 'Hale Navy Benjamin Moore') and get its brand, color number, hex and availability (current, retired or discontinued). Use it to get the hex of a named paint color before calling match_paint_color, or to check that a color name or number exists. Searches 26,000+ colors across 13 brands; call list_brands for the brand slugs.

Discovered
list_brands

List the 13 paint brands PaintColorHQ covers, with each brand's slug (the value the brand argument of match_paint_color and find_paint_color takes), its name and its number of colors.

Discovered
match_paint_color

Find the closest real, purchasable paint colors across 13 major brands (Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Valspar, PPG, Dunn-Edwards, and more) for any hex color, scored with the CIEDE2000 (Delta-E) perceptual color-difference standard. Use this to answer "what is the [brand] equivalent of [a paint color]", to cross-reference a paint color across brands, or to turn a hex/RGB value into named paint colors you can actually buy. If you only have a paint color's name or number, call find_paint_color first to get its hex. Each result returns the brand, color name, color number, hex, a closeness label and availability (current, retired or discontinued). Data and method: PaintColorHQ (paintcolorhq.com).
