Color Muse SE Colorimeter, Paint Colour Matching Tool, Portable Digital Color Values, Reader & Sensor, Identify Closest Matching Paint with Scanner Device for Painters, Designers & Artists

It’s a good gadget but it’s not suited to the uk I don’t think. Dulux matches mostly are not recognised to uk mixing machines so I’m guessing this is because it’s not for the uk market, I could be wrong, but the only paint brand it seems to match well is farrow and ball, crown is not even on the list of manufacturers installed in the app. Its ok but rather expensive for what it can achieve, I wish I brought a better colour scanner there are a few others out there that are more expensive, so if I use this one much I will probably invest in a more expensive one.

works well

Useful and easy to use. Not only at designing and inspiration but also during site inspection and handing over phase. The good trick it’s also can be calibrated with other apps on the App Store so you can extend it’s use outside Muse environment. See for yourself!

Pros: The product works pretty good. It won’t tell you the sheen of the paint. I had 5 samples matched to the recommendations. 1 was spot on- exact match. The others were close but too light of a shade so I have to keep getting the samples darkened but it is much easier than starting from scratch. It also matched the paint that I had names for so that shows how accurate the product is. It will pull up a whole list of possible options so just know it’s not an exact thing. Cons: I wrote a review about getting a used product sold as new and they denied my review. It did not use an bad language or meet the criteria to not be published. I just wanted to warn others that maybe they should watch out for used products that aren’t reduced in price. I’d keep it for a used price.

Colors match are far off even with 3 different company. Have to mix myself with those 3 paints for custom match

We have two rooms in our home that were painted slightly different shades of gray about 6 years ago. Over that time, both paints have faded, in fact, in a way that makes them difficult to distinguish from one another. Needing fresh touch-up paint, and knowing that the original paint colors would be different now, I decided to try Color Muse. It was easy to set up and use. Working with textured walls was a bit of a challenge, as it caused the readings to vary a bit. So, what I did was to take about a dozen readings in an area, noting which paint colors showed up with the lowest delta-E (color difference of product vs the Color Muse sample). Turns out I was right - the two grays had faded out to pretty much the same color (which is strange, but oh well). From there, I did some research on the two colors the app recommended them, and did some color calculations relative to the original paint colors, looking for a color that shifted color as evenly as possible (trying not to put up a paint with a low overall change but a big red shift, for example). Result was absolutely indistinguishable from the paint already on the wall. I'll definitely be using this outdoors for touch-ups in the spring!
