I tried a color fan to match, but the color fan was off and made things worse. This device saved me and proved to be a winner. Buy it! Review: Not even a close match. The flip cards / color fan is better. - Doesn't work. I was extremely excited to get this color picker because I've been trying to match a few colors manually and while I was close, it wasn't a perfect match. So when this device arrived, I thought my problems would be solved. My first try was on the ceiling, simple right? It's just a white ceiling with a perfectly flat surface. I took a bunch of readings around the area I wanted painted, maybe 20 or so, and it consistently put out 2 of the same colors, great sign! I went to the sherwin williams and picked up the exact paint it recommended. I painted the spot, and... it wasn't even close! (see pics). The color picker cards from home depot were much closer... Ok, so maybe I need to try another area. I needed to match up some stucco on the back of my house, so I took the device there and it was a bit harder, since there were no flat surfaces but eventually I got about 30 readings of which 3 were coming back consistently, so I bought the 3 colors and painted them. Not even close again! (see second picture)... Anyways.. The device doesn't work. Even if the wall is flat, white and you're just trying to match up the simple white color it's way off. On complex walls (like my stucco) it came out purple, completely different from the gray I had. To summarize... This device is not worth $100. Also, it requires 2 people for operation which is not good. One person has to hold the device perfectly flat against a surface and another person has to press a button on the phone to take a reading. Finally, the software on the app is not great. It tells you the "collection name" instead of the name of the company that makes the paint. So it may say "Great Ocean Collection" and then you have to research that on Google to see that it's a Sherwin Williams or Benjamin more brand. ## Features - ACCURACY: 92%+ First-Match Accuracy: 6 high CRI white LEDs that isolate and evenly illuminate colors for highly accurate matching on the first try. - Data Types: Universal Digital Color Standards: Instantly generate precise CIELAB, HEX, RGB, CMYK, LCh, LRV, Delta E and Lab values for digital design or photography.

Stop carrying heavy fan decks; find the exact SKU you need in seconds on your smartphone. - Portability: On-Site Professional Reliability: Lightweight and pocket-sized for contractors and designers.

It is very good IF you know which brand of paint you used to paint your wall in the first place. Cons Color matching is not for spot repairs if it is from a different brand of paint that was originally used. I ended up painting just one wall instead of all four walls, and it was not noticeable unless you knew only one wall was painted. So it saved time and money. Does not work too well if the paint surface is not smooth. So, care must be used to aim the sensor at the smoothest part of the surface, and to take several readings to take an average. ## Frequently Bought Together - Datacolor ColorReader – Identify Paint Color Instantly - Color Matching Tool - Designed For DIY, Painters, Designers and Facility Managers - Datacolor Spyder Checkr Photo for Color Accuracy & Consistency, Portable Color Matching Tool with Ergonomic Case, 62 Color Targets, Color Correction Chart for Photography & Portraits (SCK310) - Datacolor Spyder X2 Elite – Monitor Color Calibrator for Photographic, Video and Digital Design Work.
