Paint codes to latex interior paint codes?

[chrislehr]

Hey all - I don't have one, but have always loved the 68 Mustang blue on white colors, so I wanted to do my garage in Wimbeldon White with Acapulco Blue highlights and trim.

I've called around a few places and nobody can "just punch a color code in"

I have it in RGB, Hex, Sherwin Williams, and others.. the best workaround yet was order from paintscratch a spray can of each, finish some flat metal in each, then have a paint store scan and replicate. And I am sure I risk losing something in translation there as well.

Any ideas?

The codes are in the code window here

manuf	paint color name	code	sample	Ford code	Chrysler code	Ditzler PPG	Dupont	Acme Rogers	RM BASF	Martin Senour	Sherwin Williams	RGB	HSL
Ford	Wimbledon White	M		M1619	DT1430	8378	4480L, 4480, 93-96923	9343	A1663, E1663, 1633	1528	8618	255 255 232	42 255 244
Ford	Acapulco Blue	D		M3077	DT8798	13357	4857L, 4857, 4857D	5450	A1935, E1935	1750	2580	44 107 142	143 134 93

They can match your color if on a card with scanner at home depot etc.

I found the answer today!

This site rocks:
http://easyrgb.com/

If you know the RGB or hex (which is easy to get using www.paintref.com)

It will display your color, and the 4 closest matches for the paint provider you choose (over 20 in the list)

any "good" paint store can adjust the colours after the mix to get closer too
