Notes:

  • The colors in the first column are digital measurements taken from published color standards. For a list of the standards that we use, visit our color reference section.
  • The colors from the various paint manufacturers are digital measurements taken from paint chips provided by these manufacturers or from their paints directly.
  • You'll note that some of the colors in the chart are not usually associated with the given color but are found to be digitally very close matches to the intended colors.
  • If the background color of any given manufacturer's colors is light yellow, these colors are paints identified by the manufacturer to match (or are close) to the intended color but are unverified.
