Can I test paint colours on a photo of my room?
Yes. Upload a clear room photo, choose a curated colour or mix your own, and compare the repaint with the original.
See it painted before you paint it
Upload a photo of your room and see it realistically repainted in any colour, with the result checked against the actual paint code.

Add a photo of your room
Stand back far enough to get a whole wall in frame. Bright photos paint best — open the curtains or flip the lights on if you can.

Your photo isn’t published. It is stored for your renders and scheduled for deletion after 30 days. Studio collections pause that clock.

Real renders, already done. Nothing here uses a credit.
Paint it:
Large white walls, strong daylight, and a mirror — the case the model is best at, and the one most people's photos look like.

How it works
- 1
Photograph the room
Stand back far enough to get a whole wall in frame. A normal indoor photo from a phone is fine; daylight helps.
- 2
Pick one, or sign in for five
Forty-eight curated colours, or mix your own on a proper colour picker — no hex code needed. Your first render needs no account; signing in lets you compare as many as five colours side by side.
- 3
Compare, then buy paint
Put the before and after next to each other, line the finalists up, and save the one you chose. Then take the code to the paint shop.

Screen colours vary — always confirm with a physical swatch before you buy. We show you how far each render lands from the colour code, and part of any gap is your room’s own light, which is real and would show on a painted wall too. Photo credits.
Questions before you paint
What the preview can tell you, and where a real swatch still matters.
How close will the paint colour look?
TestMyPaint corrects each render towards the colour code and measures the painted wall against it. Your room's light and screen still affect what you see.
What happens to my room photo?
It is scheduled for deletion after 30 days unless you keep it in a Studio collection.
What lighting gives the best result?
A bright photo with a whole wall in frame gives the clearest preview. Normal indoor photos work, but heavy shadows can shift how the colour appears.
Should I still test a physical swatch?
Yes. Screens and room lighting affect how paint appears, so confirm your final choice with a physical swatch before buying.
When should I not use TestMyPaint?
Do not use it as an exact colour guarantee or to judge paint finish, coverage, or surface preparation. It is best for comparing colours before a swatch test.
