Color Matcher

The tool accepts a color input and returns the closest Sherwin Williams swatch with a named color, SW code, and numeric properties. It supports hex, RGB, and HSL inputs and delivers a match with an associated LRV and finish hint to aid procurement and spec sheets.
Color matching relies on a LAB-based color space conversion and Delta E2000 distance to rank available SW colors. This yields a deterministic closest color even when inputs lie between swatches. The system can operate in exact or near-approximate modes and exposes a confidence score to communicate match reliability.
Who benefits: interior designers, contractors, painters, and homeowners who need SW-aligned references for client presentations, purchase orders, or batch coloring tasks. Unique value lies in delivering a named SW color, its code, and practical finish guidance from a single color input without manual swatch comparisons. Core features include color normalization, a curated SW dataset, and fast nearest-neighbor search with a transparent confidence metric. Use cases include color concept validation, mood board development, and pre-screening of SW options for a project.
