        "text": "Yes, but you will need to bring a physical sample to a paint retailer or have your contractor cut a clean one-inch drywall sample from an inconspicuous area, like behind an outlet plate or inside a closet. Paint stores use spectrophotometers to scan the sample and match the color. However, matching the exact sheen—such as flat, eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss—is equally critical, because a mismatch in sheen shows up immediately under room lighting.",
