How can I cross reference an interior paint name or code to another brand?

I prefer to buy BEHR paint but have a color I like from ACE. Is there a way to cross reference the colors without having to go to Home Depot to scan the color?How can I cross reference an interior paint name or code to another brand?
If you like using Home Depot range paints, what is the problem about getting them to mix the color,? I am a contractor and have been asked to produce some weird and wonderfull colors sometimes, Home depot are excellent at creating most colors and you know that you can buy with confidence.


As regards to cross reference, you will make hard work of a very easy problem, all stores have their own names of colors and i believe it would be very difficult to call any store with a color reference and say can you make this color for me.


Is white really white?





Go to Home Depot and purchase their brilliant white ceiling paint, go to a Duron store and purchase their brilliant white ceiling paint, place the two side by side, one will look gray. So which color is actually brilliant white ?








Good luck

Most paint stores have ';recipe'; books for colors in other brands-call them and see.
Just take the color chip you like from Ace and take to Home Depot and have them work on a match of that chip. Then from there you approve of it or tell them it still needs a little work.

Take the chip from Ace to Home Depot and see if there are any colors there that come close. But, in this case you can't be really picky. Cause no color will come just the same as the other. Each paint retailer has different colorants they use.





You have to do the foot work there is no easy way about it. Unless, you hire a painter and then they can do the foot work for you.
