Color Helper

In many projects you know from the start what color you want. Inspiration may have come from anywhere. It may be a wall or a floor, it could be a favorite piece of furniture or accent, it could be from a picture in a magazine, or even a stuffed animal. Whatever the source, it’s not a question of what color to use, but either a question of where and how to get that color, or, if you think perhaps that you might have found it, whether the color you have found is correct.
The Color-Helper has three powerful built-in functions for color matching challenges just like these:
Identify. If you have a sample of the color, you want , the Color-Helper will identify the closest matching paint color in its internal database. The database includes over 13,000 colors from numerous manufacturers to maximize the chances of finding a good match. The Color-Helper also indicates how good the match is: 4 bars is best.
Compare. If you have a sample of a color that might be close, but you want to test it to find out just how close, you can measure in a starting color (the color you want), and then a second color (the color that might be close) in "Compare mode" and the Color-Helper will analyze the two colors and report how and why they are different.
Remember. If you have a color that can’t be moved (like brick or siding on your home, or a kitchen countertop) it’s impossible to take it to a store to find a match. For this situation, you would use the Color-Helper’s Remember function to measure and record a color at one location and then recall and use that color in another location. For example you could Remember a color at home, and then recall it in a store using the “Compare” function to see how different they are.
