OUR HISTORY & HERITAGE
We were founded in the US in 1806, and we’ve been on a colour journey ever since. With over two centuries of paint manufacturing heritage, we’ve built our reputation on finding our consumers the colours that bring them joy. And by creating paint that brings colour to life and helps it last, whether on walls, wood or outside furnishings.

IF YOUR EYE CAN SEE IT. WE CAN MATCH IT.
We have Europe’s biggest range of pre-selected colours.
From brilliant whites to outlandish oranges, our experts in UK B&Q stores can help you choose from over 2,000 colours. Colours that are purer, brighter and truer.
And if you can’t find what you’re looking for? We can create a colour that’s just as individual as you. Our state-of-the-art colour matching technology can match 2.2 million colours, all from a sample as small as a Parma Violet™.
Simply bring us a physical sample into your nearest B&Q, and we’ll instantly generate a unique colour formula that’s 99-100% accurate. It can even be mixed into any interior or exterior paint.
We’ll mix it in-store for you. You get your very own tin of paint to take home. You can go all out with a full pot or grab it in a tester pot first. Just to make sure you really love your custom colour and it truly pops on your walls.
