        "text": "Matching paint without an existing can requires obtaining a physical sample. Home improvement and paint stores use spectrophotometer color-matching technology, which requires a clean sample at least the size of a quarter. You can slice a shallow piece of drywall paper from behind a baseboard, light switch plate, or inside a closet. Keep in mind that sheen (flat, eggshell, satin) must also be matched accurately, as incorrect sheen will stand out under room lighting.",
