I’m a little late to the party, but I use Benjamin Moore’s online tool and just pick a room that has similar features to ours. (I don’t pay the $10 because I’m all cheap like that.)

It’s nice for visualization, but I have yet to find that the colors ring true from monitor to wall, a fault that lies with no one as monitor settings vary. Ultimately, there’s no substitute for the little jars of paint. Sigh.

Oh, and I love the Guatemalan artwork from the later entry.

I’ve been using Benjamin Moore’s “Personal Color Viewer”… it costs $10, but it was the cheapest program I could run on a Mac. It works pretty well!

I’d like to also add that Behr paint is no where as good as Sherwin Williams paint! All around Sherwin Williams is the way to go.

Tom (teknobear): Thanks for the tip. I will definitely check out that link; and likely post a review of it next. It looked like Behr had a tool on their site for $4.95, but I didn’t want to spring for it (I guess I’m too cheap).

Hey - if you like that idea - try out this tool by ColorCharts.org.

http://www.colorcharts.org/ccorg/

They have a tool - the CBN Selector that I’ve used to test out colors in my house. It’s pretty cool in that you can use your own digital photo of your room and apply a paint color from any Manufacturer to the walls, trim, and other elements as you have defined them.

Good luck with your painting project!
