Full Matt 0-4% sheen
Shades on a digital screen almost never look the same as on a wall. It's all about lighting and scale!
That’s why we recommend you “try on” your favourite shade(s) in your room with our interior paint sample pots.
The idea is to take a closer look at how different colours look during the day with natural light and in the evening with artificial light.
Our “Colour It” sample pot contains 180ml of Tikkurila interior paint in our best-selling matt finish. A water-based, ultra-low VOC solution that offers easy application and high opacity coverage in a smooth, velvet finish (similar to our Optiva 5 or Joker interior topcoat).
Paint directly onto interior walls and ceilings to better understand how the final colour will look in your home.
Our top tips for application:
1. Stir (or shake!) your tin before application.
2. Test in more than one location, applying two coats and over as large an area as you can.
3. Once dry, study the colour(s) in different lighting conditions (natural and artificial).
4. Don’t line up your sample swatches right next to each other (this will affect the way each reads).
Tikkurila Tinting Promise
Thanks to Tikkurila’s unique colour map manufacturing technology, our “Colour It” sample pots offer 100% colour accuracy, so you know exactly what to expect before tackling your painting project.

Semi Matt 11-35% sheen

Struggling to device on a colour for your fence or shed? Shades on a digital screen almost never look the same in your garden.

Why? The saturation of colour into wood can affected by many factors, including the condition of the surface, if it’s been previously painted, and whether you are using a stain or an opaque finish.

That’s why we recommend you test your favourite colours before committing. Our new exterior wood paint sample pots offer an easy solution!

The “Colour It” exterior sample pot contains 180ml of Tikkurila exterior paint in our best-selling, semi-matt, satin opaque finish. A water-based, low VOC solution that offers easy application and high opacity coverage in a smooth finish (similar to our Ultra Classic or Valtti Opaque exterior paints).

This can be applied to new and previously painted or stained surfaces and is ideal for use where a complete change of colour is required or where the existing surface has become weathered and uneven in appearance.

Our top tips:

Stir (or shake!) your tin before application.
Test in more than one location, applying two coats and over as large an area as you can.
Once dry, study the colour(s) in different lighting conditions (day and night).
Don’t line up your sample swatches right next to each other (this will affect the way each reads).
