Terms of Use
Last updated: October 9, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to Color Match at colormatchfinder.com, including color pages, closest-tone lists, search, matching tools, and the catalog file the Site loads in the browser (together, the “Site”).
By using the Site you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
What Color Match is
Color Match is a free, independent reference tool. You can look up a published paint name or code and see a digital swatch, or start from a color and see mathematically close names in the brands we list.
The Site is not a store, not a paint brand, and not an official conversion service of any manufacturer. We may add, remove, or change catalogs, matches, copy, or features at any time.
No affiliation; trademarks
Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Valspar, PPG, Dunn-Edwards, Farrow & Ball, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, Glidden, and all other brand names, color names, and codes on the Site belong to their owners. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of those owners.
You may not use the Site or our name in a way that suggests you or we are official, authorized, or approved by a paint brand.
Informational use only
HEX, RGB, Lab, LRV, undertone, families, FAQs, match percentages, and closest-tone lists are digital approximations. They are not a specification, formula, warranty, or professional advice. Confirm color with a physical chip and a wall sample before painting. See the Disclaimer.
You assume all risk for purchases, labor, and design decisions made after using the Site.
License to use the Site
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access the Site for personal or internal reference.
You may not, except as allowed by mandatory law:
- scrape or bulk-download the Site in a way that degrades service or is meant to recreate our catalog as a competing product;
- republish our match percentages or closest-tone lists as if they were official brand data;
- bypass security measures;
- use the Site to send malware, overload infrastructure, or violate any law.
Reasonable indexing by public search engines is allowed. Linking to public pages is allowed.
Catalog file
The catalog file exists so the Site can search and match in the browser. It is not offered as a public download or as a dataset for republishing. Match scores are a convenience derived from color difference; they are not a quality grade, a coverage or performance rating, or a brand guarantee. Do not present them as an official conversion list.
Intellectual property
The Color Match name, original copy, layout, matching presentation, and software (excluding third-party brand names, color names, codes, and fan-deck data) are owned by the operator of the Site or used under license. We do not claim ownership of third-party trademarks or official color names.
Your content
Search terms, HEX values, and eyedropper samples you enter are used to operate the tool. Saved hearts live in your browser session only. There is no public posting feature on the Site.
Disclaimer of warranties
THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT SWATCHES, CODES, MATCHES, OR LRV VALUES ARE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR A PAINT JOB, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
Some places do not allow certain warranty exclusions. In those places, the exclusion applies only to the extent allowed.
Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR OF COLOR MATCH WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COST OF SUBSTITUTE PAINT, LABOR, OR REPAINTING, ARISING FROM THE SITE OR FROM RELIANCE ON A COLOR, CODE, OR MATCH.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE THE SITE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (WHICH IS ZERO IF THE SITE IS FREE TO YOU) OR (B) TWENTY-FIVE U.S. DOLLARS (US$25).
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law.
Indemnity
If you use the Site in a way that breaks these Terms, misrepresents our matches as official brand conversions, or infringes a third party’s rights, you will defend and indemnify the operator of Color Match against claims arising from that use, to the extent permitted by law.
Third-party services
The Site is delivered through Cloudflare and may load fonts from Bunny Fonts. Those providers have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party websites we may link to.
Suspension
We may suspend or block access if we reasonably believe there is abuse, legal risk, or a threat to the Site or others.
Changes
We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date will change. If you continue to use the Site after an update, the new Terms apply, except where a mandatory law says otherwise.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by applicable law. If you are a consumer, you may bring a claim in a competent court in your place of residence where that right cannot be waived.
Please write to contact@colormatchfinder.com before filing a dispute so we can try to resolve it.
Miscellaneous
If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Disclaimer are the entire agreement about the Site. We may assign the Site to a successor operator. You may not assign these Terms. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
