Choosing & Purchasing Paint Made Easy (+ a Giveaway!)

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Prestige Paints. All opinions are my own.

I’ve been hard at work making over half of our downstairs (which I can’t wait to show you soon!), and anytime I work on a room makeover, I always second-guess my paint choice until I finally just force myself to settle on one and go with it. I discovered an app that makes the whole process of choosing and purchasing paint so easy. Prestige Paints has come up with a way to enable consumers to purchase American-manufactured, premium quality, low-VOC paint entirely online through their app, Prestige® ColorPic.

Here’s how it works. Download the ColorPic app, which is available in Apple and Google Play stores. You take a picture of your room or choose one from your phone’s photo gallery, then use the app to drop the color onto the wall, allowing you to get an almost perfect idea of what that color will look like in the room. (Or, you can also choose a room that is similar to yours from the gallery available on the app.)

When you find a color you love, you simply purchase it directly from the app and it comes to you via Amazon.

Orders are delivered through Amazon straight to your doorstep within two days with Amazon Prime.

Plus, the app allows you to see what up to 2,400 colors of paint will look like on your walls. Sounds pretty convenient, right? You can also share your creations to social media directly from the app if you want to show your friends or family what your room will look like.

No need to paint a zillion swatches of paint on the wall until you find “just the right one.” No need to run back and forth to the paint store picking up samples because the dozen samples you already bought just weren’t right. (Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything.) This app takes all of the guesswork away and simplifies the entire process. I am all for the time saving aspect of it too.

Prestige Paints Giveaway:

One of my lucky readers will win paint for an entire room makeover! That’s up to 6 gallons of paint! To enter, just download the ColorPic app and then share your creation anywhere on social media.
