Good for you! Bad news is, if you touch up your wall with a fresh can of paint, it won't look the same. Let's say you remember exactly what brand, color and sheen you purchased back in 2013. That perfect shade of blue you painted the living room five years ago is likely a few shades lighter today than when it was fresh. Especially in rooms with a lot of natural light, paint pigments fade over time.
Paint doesn't stay the same color forever.
The $100 Nix Mini won me over, and it's the sensor I'd recommend if you're interested in paint matching. If you're looking for a way to match paint on old walls or paint new walls to match the color of an object (you can scan nearly anything with a smooth surface), these handheld devices are a big help.

Nix Mini, Color Muse and Palette Pico scan a spot on your wall, connect via Bluetooth to a companion phone app and show matching paint colors from multiple paint brands.Įager to find out if these could solve my paint problems, I put these color-reading gadgets to the test. Turns out, there's a tiny piece of tech here to save the day.Ĭolor sensors that measure and match colors among real-world objects aren't new, but the three I tried are among the friendliest and least-expensive options. However, picking the right paint color or trying to match existing ones gave me major choice anxiety. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and make it our own. My husband and I recently bought a house built just after World War II with rooms stuck in nearly every decade since.
