Colour Matching

Do you have a colour that you can't find a match for?

Here at Smith and Allan we know the importance of colour and getting it right for your project.

What we need from you, is a sample of the colour you are looking for. The easiest way is to pop down to our shop in Darlington, and we can match it whilst you wait. However, we understand that not everyone is local so we offer the service via post if required.

All BS4800, BS381C, RAL & Vintage shades are considered bespoke, which are manufactured to order. Sadly, we are unable to offer refunds on these items so it is always best to get in touch with us if you are interested in a specific match; Also something to bear in mind is that each computer, tablet or phone screen shows colours differently, so the pictures on the product listings are only a representation and are not to be used a matching point.

The Details for how we offer the matching service are below;
