 It always helps to see what you are getting before actually getting it and color is no exception.  There are many websites that support color making decisions that allow a designer to “see” what a color will look like in the space before ever painting one drop.  Most of these programs are pretty accurate when it comes to a look-see and it sure beats nothing so what the heck.

The personal Color Viewer from Benjamin Moore is one that has been around for a few years now. There is an updated version of the software that works pretty well. 

Sherwin Williams has a tool called the “Color Visualizer’ which is similar to the software mentioned above.

Tip:
