See the Colour Before You Buy the Can

A screen can’t show you paint. Choose up to six colours, live with them for a week, then order the can knowing what to expect.

  • Hand-painted, in the actual finish. Never printed.

  • Up to six colours per order.

  • Shipped from Quebec, in an envelope, within two business days.

The Steps

How It Works

Four steps. The only one that takes time is the one where you do nothing.

  1. Choose Your Colours

    Up to six per order. Pick the ones you’re torn between, not just your favourite.

    Tip: Add the colour you ruled out on screen. It’s often the one that wins on the wall.

  2. Receive the Envelope

    Samples are shipped from Quebec, in an envelope, within two business days.

  3. Live With Them for a Week

    Place the cards where the paint will go and look at them in the morning, afternoon and evening. A colour changes with the light in the room.

    Tip: Move the card from one wall to another rather than leaving it in the same spot.

  4. Order the Can

    Once the colour is settled, the can is ordered online. The card stays on the furniture for the duration of the project.

What You Receive

Real Paint

Each card is painted with the paint you would order, in its finish. A printed reproduction doesn’t reflect light the same way.

One Line per Colour

Each colour you choose appears separately on your order and on the packing slip. Nothing to guess when you open the envelope.

By Mail

An envelope, not a box. Shipped from Quebec within two business days.

Choose Your Colours

Check up to six colours, then add them to your cart all at once.

Sample ordering is not set up yet. Choose a sample product in the section settings.

The swatches below are a guide, not proof: your screen, your device and the lighting in the room all shift the colour.

Why a Painted Card Rather Than a Swatch Collapse

A swatch on screen is emitted light; a painted colour is reflected light. That’s why a shade can look warm on a monitor and downright grey on a north-facing wall. The sample settles the question: it’s painted with the paint we sell, in its finish, and it’s judged in your room rather than ours.

Before You Order

Common Questions

  • How Many Samples Can I Order at Once?

    Up to six per order. Beyond that, place a second order — but six colours to choose between on the same wall is already a lot.

  • Are the Samples Really Painted?

    Yes. Each card is painted with the paint we sell, in its finish. A printed swatch doesn’t react to light the way paint does, and that’s exactly what you’re trying to check.

  • How Do I Hold a Sample on the Wall?

    A piece of painter’s tape on the back is enough, and you can move it from one wall to another during the week. That’s the advantage of a card over a sample pot.

  • Will the Colour in the Can Match the Sample?

    The sample and the can have the same colour name. What changes from one room to another is the light — and that’s exactly what the trial week is meant to measure.

  • The Colour Before the Can

    A painted card in your room is better than any photo on a screen.
