How to Use Color Sample Sticks

  1. Review Colors in Natural Light: Hold sample sticks near your project surface to see how each shade appears in daylight.
  2. Compare Undertones: Place multiple sticks side by side to evaluate subtle differences between similar colors.
  3. Test in Your Space: View samples in various lighting conditions (morning, evening, and indoor light) to choose the most accurate match.
  4. Coordinate Materials: Use sticks when selecting hardware, fabrics, wood tones, or complementary paint colors.
  5. Select Final Shade: Choose your preferred Real Milk Paint® color once you’re confident in the look and undertone.

Hints & Tips

  • Check samples in multiple lighting conditions: Colors can shift noticeably between warm indoor light and natural daylight.
  • Pair with fabric or hardware swatches: Hold sticks next to materials to find harmonious combinations.
  • Evaluate on vertical surfaces: Colors often appear different when viewed upright rather than flat.

  • Label favorites: Mark preferred colors to streamline future project planning.
