Samples

Test the colour in the room where it will be used. Observe it under natural and artificial light, at different times of day and alongside surrounding materials.

A sample pot contains paint that can be applied directly to a test surface. A handpainted sample is a prepared colour reference that can be moved around the room and compared with different materials and lighting conditions.

Apply the sample to a clean, suitable surface and allow it to dry completely before assessing the colour. For a more representative result, apply the recommended number of coats and test an area large enough to observe the colour in context.

Position samples on different walls and near relevant architectural features, such as windows, doors and flooring. This makes it easier to understand how orientation, light and surrounding materials affect the colour.

Not necessarily. Colour appearance is influenced by surface texture, preparation, paint finish, number of coats and lighting. A sample provides a useful reference, but the final result should be assessed in relation to the actual surface and selected finish.

Yes. All Blēo colours are available as both handpainted samples and small paint sample pots, allowing you to explore and test colours before making your final selection. Handpainted samples can be moved around a space to observe how colours respond to different lighting conditions and surrounding materials, while sample pots allow you to test the colour directly on a surface.
