After you have your top color choices you want to then look at the color chips which you can pick up at your local Home Depot. Color chips are a great starting point so it gives you a better visual on how the color looks and you can pick up as many as you need. Feel free to tape them up on your walls that you will be painting so you can do process of elimination with the colors you are thinking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you have the colors even more narrowed down you can then pick up 8oz paint samples and a small paint brush from the Home Depot. The 8oz paint samples are very helpful because you can paint a patch directly on your wall and you can see which color you like best at different times of the day. You can paint the colors on different walls to get an even better visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/colorfullybehr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-1.png\" alt=\"Alt Text: Image shows an 8oz paint can open with a person holding a paint brush over it with paint dripping into the can.

This is another helpful resource so you can commit to a color before purchasing a gallon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in our curated Designer Collection colors, we have larger chips that are 8&#215;8, which is also a great source to try color.
