Choosing the right paint colour for your space can feel like guesswork. What looks good on a screen or colour card doesn’t always play out the same on your walls. That’s why Plascon has introduced the new Perfect Colour Sample Pots – your simplest, smartest way to try before you buy.
Whether you’re repainting a single room or designing an entire home, this is the tool every homeowner, contractor, and interior designer needs in their kit.
Try It Your Way: Matt, Sheen, or Gloss
Paint finish plays a big role in how a colour appears. With Plascon’s Perfect Colour Sample Pots, you can now test your colour in the exact finish you’ll use in your final application – Matt, Sheen, or Gloss. No more surprises when the paint dries.
Colour Accuracy You Can Trust
Plascon sample pots are mixed using the same Pastel, Deep, and Transparent bases as your final paint order. That means the colour you sample is the colour you’ll get – 100% accurate, no guessing required.
Whether you’re testing a soft neutral for your living room or a bold feature wall for a new client, what you see is what you’ll actually paint.

Testing a few colours won’t cost a fortune. With these fab little 250ml sample pots starting from just R30, you can explore multiple shades and finishes without breaking the budget. It’s a small price to pay for long-term satisfaction — and it sure beats repainting an entire wall.

Tips & Tricks: How Lighting Affects Colour
Lighting can make or break a paint colour. That subtle warm grey you loved in-store might look greenish at home under different bulbs or at different times of day.
Here’s how to test smart:
- Test in natural light and artificial light. Colours shift throughout the day — what looks fresh at 10am might feel dull at dusk.
- Try each wall. North-facing rooms get cooler light, while south-facing ones get warm, golden tones. One colour might look completely different on opposite sides of the same room.
- Use real-life lighting. Turn on your lamps and overhead lights when testing. Don’t rely on daylight alone if you’ll mostly use the space at night.
- Live with it for a few days. Paint a decent swatch (A4 size or bigger), then observe it at different times of day and under different lighting conditions. You’ll quickly see which shades are working—and which ones aren’t.
The more you test, the more confident you’ll feel. And with sample pots starting at just R30, you don’t need to hold back.
