The often-challenging task of choosing a wall color can be made easier by using paint chips or test samples. These items will help you visualize how the color will appear in your space before committing to the purchase of a larger amount of paint. The paint chip samples are free to pick up at the store display, and 8 oz. test samples are available for purchase in any color.
The beauty of test samples is you can paint them out in larger swatches to really get a view of how the color will look. Be sure to leave some space in between the samples so it is easier on the eye. Step back, compare and determine which one feels like the right fit and that you enjoy viewing.
Some other tips include testing the colors on different walls to see how certain light affects the color at different times of the day. You can paint one swatch in direct sunlight and another in indirect sunlight. It is also helpful to paint near artificial light to see how it will look at the end of the day without natural light.
You can choose between our 8oz BEHR Color Sample which have paint and primer in one. Those come in Flat, Eggshell, Satin or Semi-Gloss. You can also get 8oz samples in Dynasty, which is our one coat hide product, those come in Matte, Eggshell, Satin or Semi-Gloss.
Start off on our BEHR website to locate the color you want to sample. You can find those online through Home Depot or at your local Home Depot store.

Hi Deanna please could you help me out on a great debate among me and some other partners at work we all want to know if the bear paint samples are good for permanent projects like touching up trim and things or are they solely only for sampling the color on the walls is it true they don’t have any gripping agencies please help us out I want to be making sure that I’m telling the customer the right way to get their paint thank you so much in advance!
Hello Jamie, thank you for reaching out!
Our paint samples are ideally used for customers to visualizer how a color will look in their space.
They can also be used to touch up as well as long as you get the same exact wall color and sheen to touch up very small details. They can also be used for smaller DIY projects. For example, painting a chair.
Hope this helps!

I don’t know if this article is outdated, but I don’t believe Behr offers samples in every color. I would love to purchase them.
Hello Marissa, thank you for visiting our blog!
This article is current, and we offer all our Core colors in 8oz samples.
Those are the colors you will find in our color center at the Home Depot.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I don’t see Bakery Box available in sample size online. Am I missing something.
Thanks.
Hello Saul, please click the link below.
You are right, I am not locating it online.
You may have to head into the Home Depot for this sample.
Sorry about that.
