How to Sample Paint Colors Like a Pro with Benjamin Moore Color Samples

Choosing a paint color is one of the most exciting parts of transforming a space—but it can also be one of the trickiest. What looks flawless under the crisp daylight of a showroom might take on a warmer, cozier hue beneath the glow of your bedroom lamp. That’s where Benjamin Moore’s liquid color samples come in. Available at Gleco Paint locations in Easton, Scranton, and Mt. Pocono, these samples allow you to see how a color truly behaves in your home before committing to a gallon.

Why Color Sampling Matters

Have you ever found a paint chip of the perfect color, only to bring it home and have it look completely different—and maybe even a little ugly? You’re not alone. Store lighting is designed to be bright and neutral, but your home lighting is anything but uniform. Natural light shifts throughout the day, and your bulbs can cast warm or cool tones that affect how color appears. Sampling real paint on your own walls helps you experience how color interacts with your unique space—from the morning glow in your kitchen to the cozy evening ambiance in your living room.

Color sampling also saves time and money in the long run. Testing a color before painting prevents costly repaints and ensures you’re truly happy with your final choice.

How to Use Benjamin Moore Color Samples

Benjamin Moore’s 16 oz. liquid color samples make testing easy. Each sample is made with real Benjamin Moore paint and can be tinted to any of their thousands of shades. To get started:

• Order your samples at Gleco Paint or online.
• Apply your sample to a white poster board or a small section of wall. (Poster boards make it easy to move your sample around the room.)
• View the color at different times of day to see how natural and artificial light affect it.
• Compare near key features like flooring, furniture, or trim to ensure everything works in harmony.

Tips for Getting the Most Accurate Results

For best results, test your colors with at least two coats of each sample and allow them to dry fully before making your decision. Space your samples a few inches apart so the colors don’t influence each other visually. Label each sample clearly, especially if you’re testing multiple shades from the same color family.

If you’re torn between colors, try sampling a lighter and darker tone of your favorite hue—the difference in natural light may surprise you.
