When sourcing paint colors from photos keep in mind that a photograph is not always a true representation of the actual color chip. The look of the paint will vary depending on things such as:
. room proportions
. size and orientation of the windows
. time of day and intensity of available natural light
. the color of surroundings (floor, ceiling and furnishings etc.)
We suggest you take a print out of the photo you like to the paint store. Gather a few chips that are within range but offer a variety of options (i.e. chips that are lighter, darker, more red, more blue etc), and try them in the area to be painted.
