Lista/Vidmar/Lyon paint codes?

[smackdab]

Been buying either Vidmar or Lyon cabinets as I find them at the right price. 2 of the Lyon cabinets I have I believe are what they call Wedgewood Blue. The Vidmars are bright blue or light blue.

I also bought a couple that are black. I want to paint them before I start using them. I don't need a picture-perfect exact match, but I'm looking for "pretty close" to the Lyon wedgewood blue, or the Vidmar light blue. I think they're close to each other. I think..... I don't have a great eye for matching paint.

I realize I could get some paint matched and mixed at a couple sources. Sherman Williams for example. But, it looks like they'd like about $160 a gallon for that option. I'm more on a Rustoleum budget, and skill level when it comes to paint. Chances are its going to get applied with a roller.

Somewhere it was suggested that Ace may be able to match paint for metal? If so, didn't know if I needed a code or just a drawer or something. I did get some latex paint for some walls mixed at Home Depot that are pretty close matches color wise, but they didn't recommend that particular paint for tool boxes. And they can't match metal paint they said.

So, can anyone suggest an off the shelf pretty close color code?

THanks!

Have you gone down to your local HW store and see if they have a color chart for their roll on enamel paint?
Bring a drawer in (if you can) and they may be able to get a close match.
it might need to be ordered, yea I know paint prices went way up.

I called Ace this morning. They told me that they can't get the coloring stuff for enamel paint any longer. Will try other sources though. Mixing latex doesn't seem to be an issue- enamel not as readily available apparently. Thanks!
