If you’re picky about color, it pays to “testdrive” a few different selections before you slap something on the wall. If you don’t, you just might end up painting the same room twice. Or, if you’re super anal, three times. Hypothetically speaking of course.
Every paint site seems to have their own tool, some more sophisticated than others. But not too many let you use your own photos, so it’s more of a “hey, that’d look good in this room that looks a teeny bit like my room, if you squint and tilt your head” scenario. But Behr’s newest tool, Paint Your Place, lets you upload your own photos. For $4.95 a year, you get unlimited access. It’s not free, but it’s not going to break your budget and that’s far cheaper than an extra gallon of primer to cover up the color you thought you liked.
This is great for those who want a good visual before they commit, but aren’t great with Photoshop mockups. Plus, once you hit on some combos you like you can order color swatches and 8-ounce paint samples for home delivery. Handy!

that tool would have been great when we were getting ready to paint our dining room since we ended up with a behr color.
That is pretty amazing! And I thought I was being really savvy when I used the Behr paint computer there at Home Depot…
