Choosing a paint color is one of the most rewarding parts of transforming a space, but it’s also one of the easiest to second-guess. Light changes, furniture, flooring, and finishes can all shift how a color looks from morning to night, which is why sampling is the step that turns a good guess into a shade you’ll truly love.
BEHR Paint colors are now available on Samplize.com, offering a convenient way to test your favorite colors at home before you paint.
Samplize peel-and-stick paint samples are made with real BEHR paint and are available in the Eggshell sheen. They let you view color directly in your space, move it from wall to wall, and see how the color responds to your room throughout the day.
Note: An eggshell enamel sheen has a soft, velvety appearance. Choosing the proper sheen for the different surfaces and areas of your home will help you choose the best interior product and get the most from your paint for a beautiful look that will stand the test of time. Visit behr.com or the Color Center at your local Home Depot for more tips on choosing the right sheen for your project.

Q: Why is BEHR introducing BEHR Paint colors on Samplize?
We’re always looking for ways to make choosing color feel more approachable, inspiring, and personal. Samplize gives consumers a simple, mess-free way to experience BEHR Paint colors at home using peel-and-stick samples made with real BEHR Paint. Instead of relying only on a digital screen, you can place a larger sample directly on your wall and see how the color works in your actual space. That extra step can make all the difference when choosing the right BEHR Paint color.
I always recommend starting with a BEHR Paint color chip from The Home Depot. Digital tools are helpful for inspiration and narrowing your options, but every screen displays color a little differently. A physical BEHR Paint color chip is more reliable because it is coated to closely match the real paint color. Once you have a few favorite BEHR Paint colors, the next step is to order Samplize peel-and-stick samples of the colors you like most so you can see them in your own home.
Samplize peel-and-stick samples make it easy to test BEHR Paint colors in the room you plan to paint. Simply peel the backing, place the sample on your wall, and view it throughout the day. You can move the sample to different walls and areas of the room to see how the color changes in different lighting. This is especially helpful because paint color is affected by everything around it, from sunlight and lamps to flooring, cabinetry, countertops, furniture, and décor. A BEHR Paint color may look soft and airy in morning light, richer in the afternoon, or more dramatic in the evening.
Yes. Samplize peel-and-stick samples of BEHR Paint colors use real BEHR Paint, which helps provide a more accurate color representation than a printed swatch. BEHR Paint colors on Samplize are available in Eggshell sheen.
Eggshell is a great finish for previewing wall color because it offers a soft, subtle glow without too much shine.
I call my three steps to color confidence Chip → Stick → Sample, and each one does something the others can’t.
Chip: Start with BEHR Paint color chips from The Home Depot.
BEHR Paint’s signature color chips are 2.75 inches by 4.5 inches, making them a great first step for browsing a broad range of colors. Chips are coated to closely match the real paint color, which makes them more dependable than anything you’re looking at on a screen. Use these chips to narrow multiple color options down to your favorites.
Stick: Move to a Samplize peel-and-stick sample of your favorite BEHR Paint colors.
Once you have a shortlist, order those BEHR Paint colors in peel-and-sticks from Samplize.com/collections/behr. Adhere to your wall and live with them for a few days. Samplize peel-and-stick samples of BEHR Paint colors are painted with real BEHR Paint and are available in Standard 9″ x 15″ and Extra Large 15″ x 18″ sizes. This is where you can get a truer sense of the color in your space.
Sample: Finish with an 8 oz. BEHR Paint sample in your sheen.
Samplize peel-and-stick samples of BEHR Paint colors are currently available in Eggshell sheen, but your project might call for Flat, Satin, Semi-Gloss, or another finish. Once you’ve locked in your color, purchase an 8 oz. BEHR Paint sample at The Home Depot in the exact sheen you’ll be using. Sheen changes how a color reads, so this last step is how you confirm color and sheen together.
That’s the inspiration behind Chip → Stick → Sample: an effortless way to build color confidence and discover the BEHR paint color that feels just right for your home.
Samplize peel-and-stick samples are a great way to view BEHR Paint colors at a larger scale and in your own lighting. Once you have narrowed your choices, I recommend purchasing 8 oz. BEHR Paint samples from The Home Depot in the sheen of your choice for your top colors. Sheen can influence how a color looks and performs in a space. Testing an 8 oz. BEHR Paint sample lets you see the color in the exact sheen you are considering, so you can be confident that both the shade and finish are right for your room.
I recommend testing samples on more than one wall. Place them near windows, in shaded areas, beside trim, next to flooring, and close to key furniture or décor. If you’re painting a kitchen, test near cabinets and countertops. In a bedroom, view the color near bedding and soft finishes. In a living room, compare it with upholstery, wood tones, and natural light. The goal is to see how the BEHR Paint color behaves in the environment where it will actually live.
Lighting is one of the biggest factors in how we experience color. Natural light shifts throughout the day, and artificial light can bring out different undertones at night. A warm neutral, soft white, deep green, calming blue, cozy gray, or bold accent color may all read differently depending on the room. That’s why sampling BEHR Paint colors in your space is so important. It helps you choose a color that feels right morning, afternoon, and evening.
