Duron and Sherwin Williams -same paints?
Comments (2)Duron used to have a different palette (the Milleneum collection, which is the same one used by Graham and California Paints). They were bought by SW a few years ago and dropped their old palette for SW colors, so yes, they are the same color. And if you go to Duron and ask for one of their old colors (like the ever-popular Tobacco Road) you must specify that you want the old formula - otherwise, they substitute the SW color that is closest (found that out the hard way!) I personally like Duron paints better than SW. They have a scrubbable flat paint called "Velvet Flat" that is one of the best paints I have ever used (and I've tried a LOT of different paints!)....See MoreAnyone Colored matched BM White Dove with Sherwin Williams paint?
Comments (4)I just got a gallon of paint from SW which was color matched to a BM color. The paint manager said they had most of the BM formulas and were an excellent match. Hope that helps your concern...the 40% off sale ends today....See MoreTrim Sherwin williams creamy semi gloss color or all white
Comments (2)I wouldn’t go with the creamy white. As you can see in your photos, whites when next to each other, can look so different. I painted a condo in SW Alabaster White and although it’s subtle, the white on my cabinets and the while on the walls do not match. Here’s a photo of my kitchen so you can see what I mean....See MorePaint match from Dunn Edwards Smoke & Ash to Sherwin Williams?
Comments (14)Flo Mangan, oh you're good! Thank you so much! I went to SW and sifted through so many colors. I'll have to look and see if this made my cut. You are SoooOooooo right about light. Literally just walking from the color wall over to a table the colors were shifting like a shape shifter and I'd say, "Whaaat?!" and turn right back around, ha! This is for a vanity in the mountains and there isn't tons of light in the room. Will be interesting to light-test it! ci_lantro, I know! I LOVE those mirros and I've already 'reversed engineered' them in my minds. In fact, IN FACT, I went to HD yesterday to look for metal edges and found some great choices. Had black metal soot all over my hands and face, ha, and would need to find a way to moisture proof the metal. You can buy it on many places, houzz included, but the measurements are a big for my space. Lulu bella I love your name! It DOES look gray but I'll bet in the right light or non-light, or if the moon is right, or if it's the third Thursday in a month with the letter R it would look blue...or not, LOL! Thank you all so much!...See Moremtpo
