Sound familiar?

01  THE PATCHWORK WALL

Three sample pots, three squares on the wall, and now you can’t tell any of them apart. They’ve been there a month.

02  THE CHIP LIES

It looked warm under the store lights. On your north-facing wall it reads gray and a bit sad.

03  THE DISAGREEMENT

You can picture it. They can’t. Nobody wins an argument about a color nobody has seen.

How it goes

  1. 01

    Photograph the room

    As it is. Messy is fine. The light matters more than the tidying.

  2. 02

    Pick colors

    From the brands your store carries, or straight from a photo you saved.

  3. 03

    See your wall

    Drag the divider. Before on one side, after on the other. Swipe for the next color.

  4. 04

    Buy the right can

    Take the code to the store. They mix that exact color. No more guessing at the counter.

Try ten before you buy one

Line up a batch and see them all on the same photo. Cheaper than sample pots, and you never have to paint over the squares.

up to twelve colors in one batch

Just the one wall, if you like

Tap a wall and only that wall changes. Good for working out whether the alcove should be darker.

A color you can actually buy

51,362 colors from 34 manufacturers plus RAL Classic. Each one carries the code your store mixes from. Sherwin-Williams is the exception for now: names and hex, no codes yet.

The LRV, which decides a lot

It tells you how much light a color gives back. In a dim room it matters more than the name does.

A color off any photo

Saw it on Pinterest? Drop the picture in. Muro finds the closest shades that exist as real products.

Still buy one sample

A screen is not a painted wall. Light changes through the day. Matt and satin read differently. No screen shows every pigment. Muro is how you get from forty colors down to one or two without painting anything. Then buy that one sample and put it on the wall. That last step still belongs on the wall.

Questions before you download

Is it free?

No. Muro is a subscription: weekly, monthly or yearly. You choose a plan after creating an account, before your first photo.
