If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.
Picking out paint swatches at your local hardware store is no longer your only option—there are so many alternatives, and many are small businesses you can support from the comfort of your couch. Sure, picking out paint without seeing it in person sounds kind of strange, but there are a ton of direct-to-consumer brands (including Black owned!) that make it easier than ever to test shades before you add that full gallon to your cart.

Backdrop
Backdrop is an online company that basically lives the mantra: “paint, but make it fashion.” This Instagram-loved company has definitely come across your feed at least once, and trust us— your paint job will actually look as good as it does on your phone screen. Their 12×12-inch paint swatches are exceptionally brilliant—the adhesive allows you to peel-and-stick over and over until you’ve come to your decision. To help you buy the right amount of paint, they’ve also got a handy online calculator to make doing the math painless.

Magnolia Home at Ace Hardware
If you’ve wanted Chip and Joanna Gaines to makeover your home, here’s one more way you can achieve the farmhouse look on your own. Their dreamy Magnolia Home paint line is comprised of cozy-casual colors and a stain-resistant finish—and yes, it’s available at Ace Hardware!

Farrow & Ball
For designer paint brand Farrow & Ball, you can shop for paint (and wallpaper) directly through their website. A gallon runs on the high end—around $140—but you’ll get an ultra-high end look and long-lasting finish you can’t get with any old can of paint. Their virtual Colour Consultancy program allows you to meet with an expert online, who can help guide you through your paint project.

Clare
This Black-owned paint brand revolutionized the way we buy paint, particularly online. These low-odor, toxic-free, and Greenguard-gold-certified paints also look high end without the steep price tag. If you’re stuck on finding the perfect paint color, the Clare Color Genius quiz will tell you what shade to pick based on your results— no more pondering two nearly identical shades for hours. Plus, swatches are just $2.
