Color Chips
Color Chips Subtle scale of shades on a single card, uniquely cut die shapes, or information systems packed with suggested accent colors - manufacturers explore all options to make a connection and inform the consumer, giving them as much decorating power as possible.
Response Simple tricks like die cut windows allow for more creative possibilities and let consumers overlay chips to see how possible colors interact with each other. Some manufacturers are offering oversized color swatches through their websites. The paint chip is an essential part of the purchase process.

NaturePaint, sold as a powder, uses the familiar tin-can structure, but elongated for differentiation, while making the connection back to traditional paint cans.
