Retail Color Chips & Paint Swatches
Help customers compare colors in their own surroundings with take-home paint chips, shade strips and sample sets tailored to your retail collection.
Retail Color Chips
Retail color chips make color selection portable. PHOENiX Sample develops take-home sampling formats that let customers compare shades in their own space and lighting while giving paint brands a structured, scalable way to present and organize color at retail.
Retail Color Chip Formats & Applications
Individual chips, multi-shade strips, die-cut samples, and coordinated sets can be configured around the collection, retail fixture, campaign, or customer journey, with size, coding, layout, and branding tailored to the program.
Physical samples allow customers to compare shades in their own environments and under their own lighting conditions before choosing a finished product.
