The impact of a shade on a wall is a function of the


ambience in which it is applied. Thus, the same shade might appeal
differently in two different rooms with differing décor. The best way
to ascertain the impact and appearance of a shade on the wall is to
apply a patch of that shade on the wall.
Asian Paints Samplers enable you to do just that!

What are Asian Paints Samplers’?


Asian Paints Samplers are 200 ml paint packs which can be
used to sample shades on the wall. These come in a range of shades
that are available through an Asian paints Colour World outlet.
Asian Paints offers Samplers in Royale Luxury Emulsion to sample
shades on interior walls and Apex Exterior Emulsion to sample
shades on exterior walls. Thus, all you need to do is purchase these
sample packs at a nominal price from any of the select Asian Paints
Colour World retail stores and experiment in one’s own house.
