Follow these simple steps to achieve the most accurate result when using Paint & Paper Library Tester Pots: Apply your sample to a clean, dry area of wall or lining paper. If the surface is newly plastered or porous, seal it first with a suitable primer or mist coat to ensure even absorption. Use a small brush or roller to apply two thin, even coats of the tester pot paint. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second to reveal the truest depth of colour. Observe the colour at different times of day and under both natural and artificial light. This will help you understand how the tone changes as lighting conditions shift. View your sample alongside existing furnishings, flooring, and trim colours to ensure your chosen shade complements your overall scheme. For best results, test on the actual walls or surfaces you plan to decorate, or use large sheets of lining paper you can move around the room. Colours can appear slightly darker or lighter once fully dry, so allow at least 24 hours before making your final decision.
