Matching paint to wall paper

Hedgecutter

is it possible to take a sample of wallpaper in to a paint shop and get paint made up to match the colour of the wall paper?

Im in the Limerick area.

yes, the dulux centres and i think fleetwood do this.

they scan the colour into a computer which in turn mixs the paint.

and to think it took my grandfather 7 years to qualify as a painter, mixing his paints etc, and now its done in seconds!!

Fleetwood Trade Paint Centre in Finglas is very good indeed.:D

There's a great place just off the Parkway roundabout in Limerick. They matched colours for my mum recently and did a great job. Can't remember the name but take the first left off the roundabout heading out of the city center. Good luck:)
