While the paint colors were close, they were ever so slightly off, so I was able to notice where I did the touch ups. It’s painted Sherwin Williams Palm Leaf, and we didn’t have any touch up paint left over, so I went to Home Depot to get a color-matched sample to use as touch up paint. I actually tried this with a Sherwin Williams paint in our green powder room. It’s better to stay consistent, because even a slight color difference will be noticeable, say, if you paint one wall in the actual BM paint and the other in a color-matched paint. Just go for the original.Īlso, if you have already started painting a room with a can of Benjamin Moore paint in a Benjamin Moore paint color, I would not go to Home Depot and get a color-matched paint to finish the job. That said! If you’re super picky about paint color and are in love with an incredibly specific shade, you may not want to risk it. I’ve never noticed that the color is different. I’ve used Benjamin Moore Simply White in probably eight different occasions in various homes, both purchased from Benjamin Moore and purchased at Home Depot. I find the colors to be very close to the originals. If you’re painting a room from scratch, then paint matching if a great option. I’ve used Home Depot paint match dozens of times, and my answer is: it depends on your project. My son’s old room, color matched to BM Hale Navy
