If you have recently painted or plan to paint your home prior to selling, try to keep a little extra paint or write the name + brand and room down.

We recently sold our home and when the time came to do touch-ups, we had no idea what colors we had the contractor use. It took several hardware store phone calls and a lot of paint swatches to attempt a color match.

Ultimately, we were able to match one of the colors. The white was the hardest to match because there are so many options to choose from and several swatches seemed to match. We took a plunge and did some touch ups. When it dried, the color did not match and we instantly wished we hadn’t done the touch ups on the white.

Luckily the buyer was understanding, but now he has several spots on his white walls that look gray. 😬
