We've Paint Matched the World's Most Iconic Wallpapers to Inspire Your Next Decorating Venture

Creating a room scheme from pattern pairing to choosing the right paint color can feel like a herculean task. Wallpapers, both digitally printed or hand blocked, often have a sheen or unique coating that makes it hard to find paint swatches that match. From choosing the perfect trim color to creating a cohesive scheme throughout the house, Datacolor's portable color reader makes the process all the more easy.

ColorReader EZ is smaller than a credit card. It can fit in a back pocket, and is so lightweight there is no reason it shouldn't live in your purse or workbag at all times. Using Datacolor's phone app and pairing with Bluetooth, the device will analyze the color on any flat surface and produce three color matches among the leading color deck companies including Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Valspar, and even Farrow and Ball. The color reader uses an advanced sensor and a built in LED light bulb to illuminate and isolate the color without outside interference for accurate color matching. The ColorReader EZ is up to 85% accurate, with the ColorReader and ColorReader Pro reaching 92% color reading accuracy. Not only can you save colors into files, you can also narrow down the paint decks to your favorite brands.

However, this wonderful bit of technology isn't just for the interior designer, and literally anything can be color matched from your family heirloom china to that amazing tile pattern discovered on your last travels. As a way to test out this fun device, we've gathered some of the most iconic wallpapers and found their perfect paint match to inspire your next decorating venture.
