# Plan Home

> Plan Home is an independent paint color reference website that helps homeowners, interior designers, decorators, and contractors explore paint colors, compare shades, and find similar colors across different paint brands.

Plan Home provides paint color reviews, technical color information, interior inspiration, side-by-side color comparisons, and cross-brand paint color matching.

Important notes:

- Digital color representations are approximate.
- Colors may look different depending on the screen, lighting, paint finish, surface texture, and application method.
- Color matches are computational approximations and are not manufacturer-certified paint formulas.
- Users should test physical paint samples before making a final decision.
- When citing Plan Home, use the URL of the relevant color, comparison, or matching page.

## Color matching methodology

Plan Home compares digital color values to identify visually similar paint colors.

Matching results may consider:

- CIEDE2000 color difference
- Hue
- Saturation
- Lightness
- Light Reflectance Value
- Warm or cool appearance

A close digital match does not guarantee an exact physical paint match. Paint formulation, finish, lighting, substrate, and manufacturing differences can affect the final result.
