Swatching Process Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) on the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, a ¾” flat brush is dipped into the paint well once and then used to create stripes until the brush is dry, demonstrating the color’s tone and behavior in a wash. These swatches are essential for color matching during production.
