FeaturesColor studio
The palette is settled before your truck is in the driveway.
Customers shortlist from real collections on their own time. You confirm room by room. The assignments lock to the job card and ride along to the crew's dispatch text.

What you get
Real collections, real codes
Colors referenced by manufacturer name and code, so what gets approved is what your supplier mixes. Screen colors are approximations — confirm against a physical sample.
Customer shortlists
They browse and save favorites between booking and start, when they have time and you are not standing there.
Per-room assignments
Walls, ceiling, trim and doors each get their own color and sheen, room by room.
Locked to the job card
Once approved, the palette is part of the job record — not a text message somebody has to scroll back for.
Carried into dispatch
The crew's morning text includes the assignments, so the first coat goes on the right wall.
Kept for next time
Two years later the touch-up color is still on the card, down to the code and the sheen.
The long version+
Color indecision is the quiet schedule killer. The crew shows up, the customer has not decided, and half a day evaporates into swatch conversations. Or worse: a verbal color at the door becomes the wrong sheen in the hallway, and you eat a day of rework and a gallon of paint to keep a review from going sideways.
The color studio moves that whole conversation earlier, to the days between booking and start when the customer is excited and has time. They browse colors referenced by the manufacturer's own names and codes — so what they pick is something your supplier can actually mix — shortlist what they like, and assign favorites to rooms. You see the shortlist on the job card as it happens, so you can steer before it becomes a problem.
When it is settled, colors lock to the job: per room, per surface, with sheen. That record is what the crew's dispatch text carries, what the job card shows, and what you can point to if there is ever a question. Two years later, when the same customer wants the guest room touched up, the exact code is still there.
In practice
From booking to first coat
Blue rows are automatic. Only two rows need you — both after the job is booked.

Questions
Color studio, answered plainly.
What painters actually ask on the first call.
Do the colors on screen match the real paint?+
They are the manufacturer's published values, which is as close as a screen gets — but every screen is calibrated differently and lighting changes everything. The studio narrows the decision to two or three; a real sample on the wall still settles it, and the card records what got approved either way.
Which brands are supported?+
Benjamin Moore references ship today, by name and code. Tell us what else your shop specs and we will prioritize it. All color names and codes are the property of their manufacturers; we reference them for matching only.
What if the customer changes their mind mid-job?+
Reassign the room and the card records the change with a timestamp. If it means extra paint or an extra coat, it becomes a change order on the same card instead of an awkward conversation at the end.
