If you are unable to find a color that is satisfactory
from our 13 standard paints or 10 standard
stains, we can "match" a custom color.
Select "Custom Color" in the "Finish" option on the Order
Form. You then need to send a smooth, dried unreturnable sample (minimum
size 3" x 3") to:
Horizon Interior Shutters
PO Box 6926
Leawood, KS 66206
Our factory will mix the finish
for your shutters and send you a sample for approval. Finishing will not
begin until your approval is received. Bear in mind that a finish
appearance changes as the finish material cures over time. Therefore, a
custom color match may become more or less satisfactory.
COST:
$74 per color for custom paint match (light colors only).
- There will be an additional charge for dark colors.
$94 per color for custom stain match.
Custom Colors will add approximately 15 working days to production time.
IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
-
MATCH - nearly equal or similar to, go well together, complimentary, suit one another.
-
DUPLICATE - an exact copy, a double, corresponding exactly.
While we routinely "match"
paint colors and some stain colors, we are unable to "duplicate" colors.
We mix our own paint and do not use paint from other manufacturers. All finishes will have a smooth satin / semi-gloss sheen. All of the following would have to be identical to achieve duplication:
- The species, texture, and moisture content of the wood.
- The degree of sanding and surface preparation.
- The type of filters, sealers, and/or primers used.
- The specific type and formulation of the finish.
- The degree of sheen (gloss).
- The number of finish top coats applied.
- The temperature and humidity when the finish was applied.
- The temperature and humidity during the drying period.
It is important to note that
different eyes see colors differently, while weather conditions, lighting
conditions (daylight, incandescent, fluorescent), and nearby reflective
surfaces affect how colors appear. Therefore, exact duplication
should not be expected.
Stain samples with heavy grain (oak, walnut, etc.) are very difficult to match. Please provide sample on a light grain wood.
