Overview

Explore colour with confidence before you decorate. Paint & Paper Library Tester Pots are filled with Pure Flat Emulsion, allowing you to experience the true depth, tone, and finish of your chosen shade in your own home.

Formulated with high pigmentation, this emulsion delivers rich, authentic colour and the flattest matt finish available, giving you a precise preview of how your chosen hue will look once applied to walls or ceilings.

The micro-porous formula lets surfaces breathe while creating a beautifully powdery, velvety texture, particularly flattering in darker shades and intimate spaces such as bedrooms, snugs, and libraries.

Application

Testing your colour choice at home is the best way to see how it will look in your own light and space. Follow these simple steps to achieve the most accurate result when using Paint & Paper Library Tester Pots:

  • Apply your sample to a clean, dry area of wall or lining paper. If the surface is newly plastered or porous, seal it first with a suitable primer or mist coat to ensure even absorption.
  • Use a small brush or roller to apply two thin, even coats of the tester pot paint. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second to reveal the truest depth of colour.
  • Observe the colour at different times of day and under both natural and artificial light. This will help you understand how the tone changes as lighting conditions shift.
  • View your sample alongside existing furnishings, flooring, and trim colours to ensure your chosen shade complements your overall scheme.
  • For best results, test on the actual walls or surfaces you plan to decorate, or use large sheets of lining paper you can move around the room.
  • Colours can appear slightly darker or lighter once fully dry, so allow at least 24 hours before making your final decision.

FAQs

Q. How do I use Paint & Paper Library Tester Pots to choose the right colour?

A.To get the most accurate impression of your chosen shade, apply two thin coats of the tester pot paint to a clean, dry area of wall or lining paper. Allow it to dry fully, then view the colour at different times of day and under various lighting conditions. This helps you see how the tone changes in your space before committing to full-size tins.
