Your one-stop paint store for the finish you actually wanted

Paint is the easy part. Choosing the right colour, the right sheen and the right product for the surface is where most projects go wrong. That is what we are here for — at both stores, no appointment needed.

Colour selection guides

Start here before you come in. Ten minutes with these makes the visit much shorter, and a lot cheaper than repainting a room.

Colour FinderBrowse every Benjamin Moore colour by family — reds through whites — then bring your shortlist in to us. Colour FamiliesGreys, greens, blues, whites and the rest — how each family behaves in a Toronto room, and the shades we get asked for most. Benjamin Moore Colour CollectionsAffinity, Colour Preview, Classics, Historical, Off-White — what each collection is actually for, and which fan deck to ask for. Sheen GuideMatte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss. The same colour reads differently in each — and the wrong sheen shows every roller mark. Colour & Stain MatchingMatching an existing wall colour, a cabinet door, a floor or an old baseboard. Bring the piece in — often ready the same day.

What we do in store

We ask before we mix

Which room, which surface, how much traffic, what sheen, and what state the wall is in — stains, patching, damage, a bathroom with a mould problem. A busy store hands you whatever can is closest. We would rather ask first and give you the product that will still look right in three years.

Colour matching

Bring in a physical sample — a chip off the wall, a piece of tile, a fabric swatch, a cabinet door — and we will match it. Please bring the real thing rather than a photo: no screen or camera reproduces a colour accurately. We can also match colours from other brands into Benjamin Moore paint.

Stain matching

Matching existing wood tones for cabinets, floors, trim and furniture. Bring a scrap of the actual wood you will be staining — the same stain looks completely different on oak than it does on pine. More on stain matching.

Spray equipment advice

Choosing the right sprayer, the right tip size and the right thinning for the product you are using. Ask at the counter, or browse spray machines & accessories.

Cabinet & furniture refinishing products

The full system for doing cabinets and furniture properly — STIX bonding primer, Benjamin Moore Advance, the right sanding sponges and brushes. See the 5-step cabinet refinishing system.

How much paint you need

Bring your measurements — or just a wall's width and height — and we will work out the gallons, whether you need a primer first, and which sheen belongs in that room. Buying three gallons for a two-gallon job is not a bargain.
