Help inevitability to paint clash color of house??

My husband and I are putting our house on the market and we hold not had it painted since we enjoy lived here. We have just lived in it 6 years and the ultimate owners had some holes contained by the siding (T 111) and tried to patch them up. They did a good brief patching them but painted the holes white instead of the light green that the house is. How do I capture a paint match for my house so that I can paint those awful white spots the right color? We don't own any spare paint in the shop I made my husband look later weekend, and we have no weak boards that we would be able to run off and replace to game. Please help.


Answers:    As usual, I will be contrary to everyone else. I own never taken things apart or pulled pieces of wood from my house when trying to match paint. Also, I never trust the color equivalent machines more than I trust my eyes. I prefer to see the color in it's inherent lighting and setting.

Look at it this way, you're not drawing your whole house and you're putting it on the souk so I think a hardware store brand paint will be fine. The subsequent time you're at the store, grab a handful of different paint cards that are close to the color you want and bring them home to compare to the nouns you want to paint. Hopefully, they'll have a color that match the current color of your siding. If it's close enough where on earth you can't tell the difference after it will be close enough to slip away anyone looking at your house.

I know.....it means making two trips but I would a bit do that than start pulling things off of my house or chipping past its sell-by date paint. And besides, if you're like me you're within Lowes or Home Depot about every other light of day.
take a small piece of the painted wood to a paint store or lowes and they can "shoot it" and clash it great....

You will never be able to clash the paint unless you get a preview to be put on a spectromometer at your paint dealer. Paint fade with time and explicitly why even if you had spare paint it would not game. See if you can get a small piece of the lumber stale the house and take it to your paint vendor. Even then if you help yourself to a sample from the shaded sector of the house as opposed to the sun side; it will still not game.
