Interior Paint Colour Tester

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).
