The often-challenging task of choosing a wall color can be made easier by using paint chips or test samples. These items will help you visualize how the color will appear in your space before committing to the purchase of a larger amount of paint. The paint chip samples are free to pick up at the store display, and 8 oz. test samples are available for purchase in any color.
The beauty of test samples is you can paint them out in larger swatches to really get a view of how the color will look. Be sure to leave some space in between the samples so it is easier on the eye. Step back, compare and determine which one feels like the right fit and that you enjoy viewing.
Some other tips include testing the colors on different walls to see how certain light affects the color at different times of the day. You can paint one swatch in direct sunlight and another in indirect sunlight. It is also helpful to paint near artificial light to see how it will look at the end of the day without natural light.
You can choose between our 8oz BEHR Color Sample which have paint and primer in one. Those come in Flat, Eggshell, Satin or Semi-Gloss. You can also get 8oz samples in Dynasty, which is our one coat hide product, those come in Matte, Eggshell, Satin or Semi-Gloss.
Start off on our BEHR website to locate the color you want to sample. You can find those online through Home Depot or at your local Home Depot store.

Is it possible to have you send me a paint chip/card? I’ve been to the Home Depot could not find “Straw Hat” checkedon the Behr computer it says the paint chip/card is not available.
Hello Rick, thank you for visiting our blog!
Sorry we no longer produce color chips for that color. It is from our old system, although it can still be tinted at your local Home Depot. We do have 8oz paint samples available for purchase if that helps.
I can also get you a current color match to that color so you can obtain a color chip from our color center at Home Depot.
Please let me know.
Colorfully Yours,
Deanna
