Paint Color Similarities

Paint color names are like crayons and house paint names, there are soooooo many variations.


1-Please reference the PDF below for the paint color ranges you may have for the colors used in the course

2-Use the color you have within the range for the color referenced in the course.

FYI-Based on what you use, color mixing may be slightly different from the video
