Hi everyone, new owner here looking for some advice on touching up the existing walls in an Amarillo model from 2003. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what paint may have been used the houses in the Summer Hills section of the villages just looking to do some touchup found some paint from the previous owner, but it does not match, it’s a good match for the living room, but appears that the bedrooms and hallway are different color. Thanks Jim c

Try taking a photo of the wall with your phone. If the picture is good enough you could try to match it from the picture.

Take a 1 inch square to Home Depot or Lowes, they can color match perfectly with their scanner. I did this for exterior trim paint and was perfect.

For small scuff marks, a slightly damp magic eraser can take care of it.

You can use a knife to cut a small piece of drywall out and bring the sample to ace hardware and the can usually match the color. Then just fill in the sample spot with some spackle, sand it smooth, and paint over it.

I don’t agree. I take photos of nature to paint from, but they are never accurate colors on any camera or phone I have. They are blued, cooled down or warmed up but never the correct color. That is why after drawing the outlines from photos I go back to the scene during the same time period for the same light - to get the accurate colors.

I personally find Behr paint to be extremely high VOC, its paint fumes last a long time. After MUCH painting in my life, I love Lowes' Valspar 2000. Good paint with no lingering smell. But I don't know if they do color match.
