2007年7月15日 · Generally, even if you have a "leftover", unopened can of paint that is the exact same paint that was put onto a wall at a previous time, you STILL have to paint the entire room over, in order to get a proper match. Paints fade slightly over time. New paint will not look the same as the existing paint on the wall (even if they are the same).

2014年4月15日 · It stands to reason that the manager at the SW Store is apt to do a much better job of color matching than the kid who works part-time in the paint department at Lowes or Home Depot.

Paint Color All Wrong! - DIY Home Improvement Forum
2004年1月14日 · Home Depot and Lowes will always fix a problem with paint. If the paint doesn't match the chip, they will replace it for free. I've done it.
