Why You Can Depend on Accurate, Consistent Color:

Exceptional Product Design

Our paint scientists have designed our products, base formulas and colorants to integrate perfectly with all of our color formulas – like pieces of a puzzle. The result: incredibly accurate, consistent color no matter what product, gloss or sheen you use.

Quality Manufacturing

We control our own manufacturing, allowing us to rigorously maintain quality and color performance. Unlike some competitors, Sherwin-Williams manufactures all of its own base products and colorants. Our colorant is manufactured specifically for our products and tinting machines, optimizing color performance.

Coast-to-Coast Consistency

Through our 4,300-plus locations and hundreds of field reps, we offer nationwide color excellence. We rigorously train and manage the teams who tint every gallon of paint you buy. Because our tinters use only our products and colorants, we maintain careful color hygiene.

Technical Expertise

Inside our Cleveland technical center, dedicated color specialists use our proprietary software to manage our tinters and fine-tune color formulas in real time, drive new product development, creating a virtuous circle of color excellence in all Sherwin-Williams products.
