Can Dulux mix crown colours?

Oh Zippy, 7 July, 2008 at 11:37 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 5

I'd like a particular Crown colour that only comes as a waterbased eggshell mixed as an oil based satin gloss to be more hard wearing.

Recently all our Crown mixers have stopped doing this, and now only sell cans off the shelf.

We do still have some shops that mix dulux. Does anyone know if the big names know how to mix the colours from the other companies' ranges?

    I think they do, as Im sure you can take a sample of something in any colour you want mixed (like a jumper or a lampshade) and they scan it and mix the colour.

    Ooh, do they still do that? We were talking about that because we remembered an advert with a woman stealing a plasticine head.

    Now you've said this, we've checked again on the website and you're right, they do (confusingly colour mixing is under products, not colours!).

    Thank you :o)

    I'm going to PM you in a mo, by the way.

    You could either take the colour sample from the leaflet thing whcih they could match, or apparently at Dulux decorator centres (also open to the public) you can actually ask for 'Crown xxx'.

    if you have a johnson's near you they will mix up any of the other manufacturers paint colours - if you take the colour card they will have a code for it

    (hope this is still the case - it is what we did last year)

    I don't think we do. We do have a Dulux centre though so I'm going to pop in there and check.
