What is the ColorSnap Visualizer Tool?

If you’ve ever painted your home, then you know how difficult it can be to select paint colors. If you’re struggling to find your paint colors or you’re just having trouble visualizing how your space will look once painted, then we’ve got an amazing tool for you!  Sherwin Williams created the ColorSnap Visualizer tool to help homeowners find their perfect colors and get a sense for how they will transform the space.  So, today we’ll be walking you through step-by-step on how to use the Visualizer tool to help select your next paint colors.

To add colors click the + Add a Color in the My Color Palette. You can select from the large palette of colors or use the search bar to find a specific color. Once you find the color you’d like to look at click the + in the bottom left corner of the color square as shown here. 

You can add up to eight colors in a single color palette.  Once you have your colors selected click Close in the top right corner.  This will take you back to your image.

To color in an area, select the color you’d like to see from your color palette and click the area you want to color in; body, trim, or accent. This should fill in that space accordingly.  

If you are using your own photo this function may not work as well and we recommend utilizing the brush tool to manually color in the areas as needed. Using a stylus for this can be very helpful on a touch screen!

As you go through and check out colors you may decide certain colors aren’t going to work.  To remove unwanted colors from your color palette simple click the small trash can icon next to the color name.
