What You Should Know Before Buying Paint Online
By MASIE O'TOOLE
Online shopping is convenient, but buying a can of paint without seeing it in person can feel risky. There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for paint online.
The biggest issue when it comes to purchasing paint online is that you can't see how it looks in person, as the color will most likely appear different on a computer screen.
To combat this, figure out a way to view the paint in person. Try to find it at the hardware store first or check for sample-sized cans or swatches that you can order.
Many brands like Sherwin-Williams use VR to help you better visualize what a color will look like on your walls, which can help you get a better idea of what you're buying.
However, there's still a chance you won't like the paint color you ended up selecting online. To prepare for this, check your paint brand's website for a return or refund policy.
