Product Description

No matter which brand of paints a decorative painter uses, projects detailed in pattern books will frequently list colors not readily available-colors which often must be matched for the project to turn out just right.

Back and better than ever, this indispensable, best-selling guide offers a simple solution to these color matching dilemmas, eliminating the need to buy a lot of new paint. Using the patented Tru-Color System, it allows painters to create any project using paints they already have-regardless of the brand used by the original artist.

Following an easy-to-reference alphabetical format, decorative painters can quickly match all the colors of the most popular acrylic brands, including Americana, Ceramcoat, Folk Art, Jo Sonja and 1837 Legacy (plus four oil brands, including Archival, Prima, Rembrandt and Winsor Newton). Where a perfect match is not available, a specific mix is provided. It's a truly revolutionary guide.

• Now includes 20% more oil and acrylic conversions • Saves decorative painters valuable time and money • Enables users to cross match colors among all major brands • Features more than 350 exact color swatches

A Color Coded Bible
This book is like a Bible to me and my girl friend. We use it about every day and selling it to some of our customers. This book has so many colors in it and they are true colors to match up with. I think it helps to see the colors that you are looking for not to just read about the color and match it up that way, it is just so handy to look at the colors.

Color Match Sourcebook
Very helpful, this book lets you match or mix to get the color your looking for. Also a great guide for shadow and highlighting colors. This is worth the purchase.
