Sherwin-Williams complements in-store paint swatches with color visualization app

Sherwin-Williams is updating its ColorSnap Visualizer application to enable users to scan individual color chips with their smartphones to virtually paint room scenes, underscoring mobile’s effectiveness at complementing in-store browsing.

The paint brand is rolling out its new ColorSnap suite of services, which includes an in-store display designed to make selection easier for consumers via a combination of digital and offline tools. Customers standing in front of a Sherwin-Williams display can snap an image of a paint card with their smartphone to virtually paint a room scene, allowing them to visualize how it may look on their own spaces.

 “Color really is everywhere, and the feature-set in ColorSnap Visualizer takes the best of the color experience and customer service found inside of the four walls of a Sherwin-Williams store and enhances it with a variety of features,” said Megan Vickers, director of electronic business marketing at Sherwin-Williams, Cleveland, OH. “A tremendous amount of thought went into the refreshed color palette and the way it is organized and presented in the store.

“An in-store color swatch is the truest representation of the color, but on its own, it can be difficult for many to imagine that small swatch of color filling the walls of their home, and options can be hard to narrow,” she said. “ColorSnap is an integrated system of colors and tools online and offline that make paint color selection fast and easy.

“For instance, the in-store color wall is replicated digitally, and can be accessed on a variety of devices for easy reference and then enhanced. With the tap of a finger, any of Sherwin-Williams’ 1,500 colors are presented in detail with expert recommendations for coordinating and related colors.”
